Staple Singers - Respect Yourself Lyrics
If you disrespect
Anybody that you run in to
How in the world do you think
Anybody's 'sposed to respect you
If you don't give a heck
'Bout the man with the Bible in his hand, ya
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
(Da, da, da, da, da)
Respect yourself
(Dee, dee, dee, dee)
Respect yourself
(Da, da, da, da, da)
Respect yourself
(Dee, dee, dee, dee)
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give
A good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself
(Da, da, da, da, da)
Respect yourself
(Dee, dee, dee, dee)
Respect yourself
(Da, da, da, da, da)
Respect yourself
(Dee, dee, dee, dee)
If you're walking round thinkin'
That the world owes you something 'cause you're here
You goin' out 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 around women folk
You don't even know their names
And you dumb enough to think
That'll make you a big ol' man
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give
A good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself
(Da, da, da, da, da)
Respect yourself
(Dee, dee, dee, dee)
Respect yourself
(Da, da, da, da, da)
