Respect Yourself Lyrics

Respect Yourself
The Staple Singers

If you disrespect anybody
That you run in to
How in the world do you think
Anybody's s'posed to respect you

If you don't give a damn about
The man with the bible in his hand y'all
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thang

You the kind of gentleman
That want everything your way yeah
Take the sheet off your face boy
It's a brand new day

CHORUS
Respect yourself (Na na na na na)
Respect yourself (Dee dee dee dee)

If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot

Respect yourself (Na na na na na)
Respect yourself (Dee dee dee dee)
Respect yourself (Na na na na na)
