[Verse 1]
What you want, baby, I got it
What you need, you know I got it
All we're asking for is a little respect
What's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!

[Verse 2]
Don't ignore me, when you walk by
I'm not that different, and that's no lie
All we're asking for is a little respect
What's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!

[Verse 3]
Please don't tease me, and treat us like dirt
You don't know how much it hurts
All we're asking for is a little respect
What's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!

[Solo]
Hey man, give me some respect! Show some respect!

[Verse 4]
You stop and stare, and that's not cool
I have feelings, just like you
All we're asking for is a little respect
What's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!
[Hook]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, we'll be brave whatever you do
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, you better watch out, it could happen to you

[Outro]
Huh, don't diss
Huh, don't diss
Huh, don't diss
Huh, don't diss
Don't diss, don't diss, don't diss, don't diss
Don't diss, don't diss, don't diss, don't diss
What's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!
What's up, what's up, what's up, respect!
Respect!
