Respect Yourself Songtext

von Bruce Willis

If you disrespect everybody
That you run into,
How in the world do you think
Anybody supposed to respect you?
If you don't give a heck about
The man with a 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.

[Refrain]
Respect yourself, respect yourself.
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good
Ca-hoot, na-na-na, oh-oh.
Respect yourself, respect yourself.

If you're walking around thinking
That the world owes you something
Cause you're here.
You're going out the world backward
Like you did when you first came here.
Keep talking about the president
Wont stop air pollution.
Put your hand over your mouth
When you cough that' ll help the solution.

You cuss around women folk,
You don't even know their name.
Then you're dumb enough to think
That it makes you a big old man.

[Refrain]
