    written by otis redding

    what you want baby i got it
    what you need do you know i got it

    all i’m askin’ is for a little respect when you come home
    just a little bit hey baby
    just a little bit when you get home
    just a little bit mister
    just a little bit

    i ain’t gonna do you wrong while you’re gone
    ain’t gon’ do you wrong ’cause i don’t wanna

    all i’m askin’ 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 yeah
    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 little bit a little respect
