R-E-S-P-E-C-T

June 23, 2016 By Jessica Lily

23 Jun

by Otis Redding
also sung by Aretha Franklin
new lyrics by Jacqueline Howard

Intro: Guitar 2 measures

x x What you want, baby you got it
x x What you need, you already got it
x x All we’re asking you for is
a little respect when you’re at school
x x And when you get home
Just a little bit, just a little bit

We ain’t gonna do you wrong, we’re all sisters
We ain’t gonna do you wrong that’s not the way
All we’re asking you for is
a little respect when you’re at school
And when you get home
Just a little bit, Just a little bit

Ooooh this feeling, it’s sweeter than honey
Respect is an honor,
you can’t buy with money
All I’m asking you for is

Re- Re- Re- Respect (just a little bit)
Re- Re- Re- Respect

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I’m a girl at GVP
Shine my light, in every way
Shine on sisters, for a brighter day

Shine shine shine shine my light
Shine on sisters, Shine with all your might
