Respect
Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding Lyrics

What you want, honey, you got it
Whatever it is that you want, my dear, you already possess

And what you need, baby, you've got it
All your needs, my love, have already been fulfilled

All I'm asking
The only thing I am requesting is

For a little respect when I come home, hey now
That you show me some respect when I return home, oh yeah

Hey hey hey, yeah now
This is an expression of excitement, hooray!

Do me wrong, honey, if you wanna to
If you so choose, my dear, you may treat me poorly

You can do me wrong honey, while I'm gone
Even when I am not present, you are welcome to mistreat me

But all I'm asking
However, all that I desire is

Is for a little respect when I come home, ooh, yeah now
That you show me some basic courtesy upon my arrival, oh yeah

Hey little girl, you're so sweet, little honey
You are such an endearing and charming young lady

And I'm about to, just give you all of my money
Soon, I will be giving you all of my finances

And all I'm asking, hey
And yet, all I request is

A little respect when I come home, hey hey
A small amount of acknowledgment and politeness upon my return, oh yeah

Hey hey hey, yeah now
This is another exclamation of enthusiasm, oh yeah

Hey little girl, you're sweeter then honey
My dear, you are even more adorable and precious than honey

And I'm about to give you all of my money
I am preparing to hand over my entire financial resources to you

But all I want you to do
However, all I require of you

Is just give it, give it
Is to simply offer me

Respect when I come home, hey hey now
Some basic respect and courtesy when I return home, oh yeah

Respect is what I want from you
The only thing I ask of you is respect

Respect is what I need
I crave nothing more than respect

Respect is what I want
I have a strong desire for respect

Respect is what I need
My greatest necessity is respect

Got to, got to have it
It is absolutely imperative that I have it

Got to, got to have it
I cannot do without it

Got to, got to have it
It is mandatory that I receive it

Got to, got to have it
I must have it without question

Talkin'
I am speaking now

Give us, give us, give us, give us
Provide us, provide us, provide us, provide us

Give us, give us, give us, give us
Offer us, offer us, offer us, offer us

Give us, give us some baby, everything I need
Give us, provide us some, my dear, all that I require

Give us, give us some baby, everything I want
Please grant us, endow us with, my dear, all that I desire
