Respect Yourself

If you disrespect anybody that you run in to,
how in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you.

If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand,
just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing!

You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way.
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day!

Respect yourself! Respect yourself!

If you don't respect yourself
ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot,
na na na whoa, whoa
Respect yourself! Respect yourself!

If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
you're here, you goin' out'n the world backwards like you did when you
first come in.

Keep talkin' bout the president, won't stop air pollution,
put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution!

Oh, you cuss'n 'round women and you don't even know their names,
and you dumb enough to think that'll make you a "big ole man!"

Respect yourself!
