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.
What you want
Honey you've got it
And what you need
Baby you've got it
All I'm asking
Is for a little respect when I come home
Do me wrong
Honey if you wanna
You can do me wrong
Honey while I am gone
But all I'm asking for
Is for a little respect when I come home
Hey little girl, you're so sweeter than honey
And I am about to just give you all my money
All I'm asking for
Is a little respect when I come home
Hey little girl, you're sweeter than honey
And I am about to give you all my money
But all I want you to do
Just give it, give it
Respect when I come home
Respect is what I want
Respect is what I need
Respect is what I want
Respect is what I need
Got to, got to have it
Got to, got to have it
Gotta, got to have it
Gotta, got to have it
