I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you’re gone
Ain’t gonna do you wrong (ooo) ‘cause I don’t wanna (ooo)
All I’m askin’ (ooo)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)

I’m about to give you all of my money
And all I’m askin’ in return, honey
Is to give me my propers
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

Ooo, your kisses (ooo)

So is my money (ooo)
All I want you to do (ooo) for me

Whoa, yeah (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)

You’re runnin’ out of fools (just a little bit)
And I ain’t lyin’ (just a little bit)

Or you just might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I’m gone (just a little bit)
