Respect (Live in Paris, 1968)
[Intro]
Thank you
[Verse 1]
What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need
You know I got it
[Chorus]
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect
When you come home
(Just a little bit)
Hey, baby
(Just a little bit)
When you get home
(Just a little bit)
Mister
(Just a little bit)
[Verse 2]
I ain't gon' do you wrong
While you're gone
I ain't gonna do you wrong
Because I don't wanna
[Chorus]
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect
When you come home
(Just a little bit)
Hey baby
(Just a little bit)
When you get home
(Just a little bit)
Mister
(Just a little bit)
[Verse 3]
I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Just give me my propers
When you get home
[Chorus]
(Just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah, baby
(Just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home
(Just a little bit)
Ah yeah
(Just a little bit)
Ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Your kisses
Sweeter than honey
Guess what?
So is my money
[Chorus]
All I need
Is just a little respect when you get home
(Re, re, re, re - re, re, re, re)
Baby, when you get home
(Respect, just a little bit)
Lay it on me
(Just a little bit)
[Refrain]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB, oh
[Outro]
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Yeah, baby
(Just a little bit)
I want a little respect
(Just a little bit)
Now, I get tired
(Just a little bit)
But I keep on tryin'
(Just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of fools
(Just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin'
(Just a little bit)
Yeah, respect
(Re, re, re, re)
All I need
(Re, re, re, re)
Oh, a little respect
(Just a little bit)
All I want
(Just a little bit)
Ooh, yeah
(Just a little bit)
I want a little respect
(Just a little bit)
Yeah, baby
(Just a little bit)
A little respect
(Just a little bit)
Oh

Sock it to me
(Just a little bit)
Oh, truly
(Just a little bit)
Lay that on me
(Just a little bit)
Ooh
(Just a little bit)
I want a little respect
(Just a little bit)
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much
For being so very wonderful to us here in Paris
Being so hospitable, so warm
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Bye-bye, we love you
