Respect
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were like two birds flying so high as the clouds
We were so silly in love
But things changed you became possessive
You?re not the man I used to know
Why did you change on me
1 - Think about your mama
Before you take me low
Treat me with respect
That should be the way it goes
I know you?re not my daddy
I refuse to be controlled
Treat me with respect
That should be the way it goes
Think before you disrespect me
Think before you play your silly games
Think before you scream at me
Think before you call me out my name
You better think about every little thing
That you do to me
Cause a stone?ll happen to you
- 1
Think before you cheat on me
Think before you take her home tonight
Think before you say your sorry
Think before it?s too late, stop wasting time
Better think about every little thing
That you do to me
Cause a stone?ll happen to you
- 1 (x2)
boy I won?t be with you if you won?t respect me
will never happen so you better think
if you treat me right I?m gon make you happy
so you better think
