R-E-S-P-E-C-T
give ur girl respect
its ur girl ciara
futuristic
and them corner boys
that's right
(Verse 1)
listen
first of all change ur tone
come correct when u talk to me
cuz i am not some hoe
silly girl that u can mistreat
i have a mind of my own
and there'll be times when we disagree
but if ur not in control
then ur just ready to throw it all away
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)
insecure
better watch the way u talk to me
won't take no more
cuz all i need from u 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
or plz 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
(Chorus)
