The Temptations - Respect YourselfLyrics

If you disrespect anybody That you run into How in the world do you think Anybody's suppose to respect you? If you don't give a heck about the man With the bible in his hand Just get out the way And let the gentleman do his thing Now you're 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 But if you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot Respect yourself Come on, respect yourself If you're walkin' 'round thinking That the world owes you something 'cause you're here Well, you goin' out the world backwards Like you did when you first come here Keep talkin' 'bout the president It won't stop air pollution Put your hand o'er your mouth When you cough that'll help the solution, yes it will You curse around women And you don't even know their names Then you're dumb enough to think It'll make you a big ol' man Respect yourself Respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot Respect yourself Come on, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot Respect yourself Come on, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot Respect yourself Well, well, respect yourself Come on, respect yourself Come on, respect yourself Respect yourself Come on, respect yourself Come on, respect yourself I said, respect yourself Respect yourself Come on, respect yourself
