R-E-S-P-E-C-T
give yo' girl respect
its yo' girl ciara
futurastic
and them corner boys
das' right
(Verse 1)
listen
first of all change your tone
come correct when you talk to me
cuz i am not some hoe,
silly girl that you can mistreat
i have a mind of my own
and there'll be times when we disagree
but if your not in control
then yout just ready to throw it all away
hey now wait a minute baby,
see there's no need for you to be this way
cuz i am your lady
i never thought that you would be so
(Chorus)
insecure
better watch the way you talk to me
won't take no more
cuz all i need from you is a little respect
uh huh
just a little respect
uh huh
just a little respect
just a little bit
hope u hearin this
hope u talkin to
(Verse 2)
don't misunderstand what i mean
when im sayin im tryin to do me
u shouldn't be so unsure
and cause beef everytime i leave
i do appreciate
everything that u do for me
try not to suffocate
u need to give ur girl some time to breathe
hey now wait a minute baby
see there's no need for u to be this way
cuz i am ur lady
i never thought that u would be so
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
im tryin' my hardest
to keep u around
when im talkin just listen
boy please hear me out
the problems i'll solve them
best way i kno how
the only way to work this out
is u can be so OH
(Verse 3)
this silly chicken got me switching my tone
she really trippin and shorty be flippin
just if i don't pick up my phone
but im gone she be wishin im home
and when I'm home she say i don't pay attention guess my mission is blown
yo i don't be steppin to females
but im kinda feel really disrespected
she be checkin my E-mail
ur girlfriend's eager to watch me
and off then our conversation's tossed im like Edith + Archie
but damn it ain't all in the fam
if u can't trust me how the hell u gon call me a man
y the hell u don't feel like u all in the plans
u be talkin like u want me in the coroner's bin
yea i ball in the weekends all in the deep end
i swear to god u da only broad i be freaking
u the love of my life and i ain't frontin
i want u to be a best friend, mother and wife u lovin it right?
