Respect Yourself Lyrics - Soulsville - Huey Lewis & The News

If you disrespect everybody 

That you run into 

How in the world do you think 

Anybody's supposed 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 [Incomprehensible] 

Want everything your 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 cahoot 

Respect yourself, respect yourself 

If you're walking 'round thinkin' 

That the world owes you something 

'Cause you're [Incomprehensible] 

You goin' out the world backwards 

Like your day when you first come here 

You keep on talking 'bout the President 

You won't stop at pollution, no 

Put your hand on your mouth when you cough 

That'll help the solution 

Oh, you cuss around women 

For you don't even know their names, no 

And you're dumb enough to think 

That'll make you a big old man, oh 

Respect yourself, ah yeah 

You ought to respect yourself, yeah 

If you don't respect yourself 

Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot 

Respect yourself, respect yourself, yeah 

Respect yourself, yeah, respect yourself 

What's happening to the world, yeah? 

Nobody respects themselves 

You ought to respect your name 

You ought to respect yourself, respect yourself 

Respect yourself, respect yourself
