(ooh) What you want

I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone 
Ain't gonna do you wrong (ooh) 
'cause I don't wanna (ooh) 
All I'm askin' (ooh) 
Is for a little respect 
When you come home (just a little bit) 
Baby (just a little bit) 
When you get home (just a little bit) 
Yeah (just a little bit) 

I'm about to give you all of my money 
And all I'm askin' in return, honey 
Is to give me my profits 
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a) 
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a) 
When you get home (just a little bit) 
Yeah (just a little bit) 

Ooh, your kisses (ooh) 
Sweeter than honey (ooh) 
And guess what? (ooh) 
So is my money (ooh) 
All I want you to do (ooh) for me 
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re ,re) 
Yeah baby (re, re, re ,re) 
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit) 
When you get home, now (just a little bit)

Take care, T.C.B. 

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, 
Sock it to me, sock it to me) 
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me, 
Sock it to me, sock it to me) 
Whoa, babe (just a little bit) 
A little respect (just a little bit) 
I get tired (just a little bit) 
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit) 
You're runnin' out of foolin' (just a little bit) 
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit) 
(re, re, re, re) 'spect 
When you come home (re, re, re ,re) 
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit) 
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit) 
I got to have (just a little bit) 
A little respect (just a little bit)
