R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give your girl respect,
It's ya girl Ciara
Futuristic
And them Corner Boys, thats right

-Verse 1-
Listen,
First of all change your tone
Come correct when you talk to me
'Cause I am not some ho
Silly girl that you can mistreat
I have a mind of my own
And there'll be times when we disagree
But if your not in control
Then your just ready to throw it all away

Hey now wait a minute baby
See there's no need for you to be this way
'Cause I am your lady
I never thought you would be so,

(Chrous)
Insecure
Better watch the way you talk to me
Won't take no more
'Cause all I need from you is a little respect, uh huh
Just a little respect, uh huh
Just a little respect, just a little bit,
hope you hearin' this, who you talkin' to huh

-Verse 2-
Don't misunderstand what I mean
When I say I'm trying to do me
You shouldn't be so unsure
And cause beef everytime I leave
I do appreciate
Everything that you do for me
Try not to suffocate
You need to give your girl some time to breathe

Hey now wait a minute baby
See there's no need for you to be this way
'Cause I am your lady
I never thought you would be so,

(Chrous)
Insecure
Better watch the way you talk to me
Won't take no more
'Cause all I need from you is a little respect, uh huh
Just a little respect, uh huh
Just a little respect, just a little bit,
hope you hearin' this, who you talkin' to huh

*Bridge*
I'm trying my hardest to keep you around
When I'm talking just listen
Boy please hear me out
The problems, I'll solve them
Best way I know how
The only way to work this out is
You can't be so....OH!

(Chrous)
Insecure
Better watch the way you talk to me
Won't take no more
'Cause all I need from you is a little respect, uh huh
Just a little respect, uh huh
Just a little respect, just a little bit,
hope you hearin' this, who you talkin' to huh
