Joe Cocker - Respect Yourself lyrics

[Joe Cocker - Respect Yourself lyrics]

If you disrespect everybody that you run into
How in the world do you think
Anybody 'sposed 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
You're the kind of gentleman that
Wants everything their way
Take the sheet off your face boy
It's a brand new day

Respect yourself respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good hoot
Na- na- na respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you're walking around thinking that
The word owes you
Something cause you're here
You're going out the world backwards like you
Did when you first came her
You keep talking about the president
Won't stop air pollution
Put your hand over your mouth when
You cough that'll help the solution
You cuss around women and you
Don't even know their names
Then You're dumb enough to think that it
Makes you a big ol' man

Respect yourself respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good hoot
Na- na- na respect yourself
Respect yourself

Respect yourself respect yourself
Respect yourself respect yourself
Respect yourself respect yourself
Respect yourself
