Respect Yourself Lyrics - Bring It On Home: The Soul Classics - Aaron Neville

If you disrespect anybody 

That you run into 

How in the world do you think 

Anybody's s'pose 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 

Now you're the kind of gentleman 

That want everything your way 

Take the sheet off your face, boy 

It's a brand new day 

Respect yourself 

Respect yourself 

But if you don't respect yourself 

Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot 

Respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

If you're walkin' 'round thinking 

That the world owes you something 'cause you're here 

Well, you goin' out the world backwards 

Like you did when you first come here 

Keep talkin' 'bout the president 

It won't stop air pollution 

Put your hand o'er your mouth 

When you cough that'll help the solution, yes it will 

You curse around women 

And you don't even know their names 

Then you're dumb enough to think 

It'll make you a big ol' man 

Respect yourself 

Respect yourself 

If you don't respect yourself 

Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot 

Respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

If you don't respect yourself 

Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot 

Respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

If you don't respect yourself 

Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot 

Respect yourself 

Well, well, respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

Respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself 

I said, respect yourself 

Respect yourself 

Come on, respect yourself
