Respect Yourself - Joe Cocker

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
