This week I will be doing the song "Respect" by Aritha Franklin. I chose this song because i really like it, not only because it's really catchy, but becuase she is so passionate about what she is singing.
Otis Redding wrote and originally recorded this song in 1965. This song is about how strong women and are and how they deserve the best, and also respect! When Aritha sings it she is sending out the message that if you cant respect her than you better keep walking, becuase you aren't welcome in her house!
"Respect" by Aritha Franklin
(Ooh) What you want
(Ooh) Baby, I got
(Ooh) What you need
(Ooh) Do you know I've got it
(Ooh) All I'm askin'
(Ooh) 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 gonna do you wrong (Ooh) 'cause I don't want to (Ooh)
All I'm askin' (Ooh)
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 profits
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)
Ooh, your kisses (Ooh)
Sweeter than honey (Ooh)
And guess what (Ooh)
So is my money (Ooh)
All I want you to do (Ooh) for me
Is give it to me when you get home (Re, re, re ,re)
Yeah baby (Re, re, re ,re)
Whip it to me (Respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (Just a little bit)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB
Oh (Sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (Sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (Just a little bit)
A little respect (Just a little bit)
I get tired (Just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (Just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of foolin' (Just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (Just a little bit)
(Re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (Re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (Respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (Just a little bit)
I got to have (Just a little bit)
A little respect (Just a little bit)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS TO ME. Becca :) This is
of my favorite songs ever! Thank you for doing it.
i dont like classic rock but its interesting to read about!:)
I really like the words!! I haven't ever heard the song though!
This is a good song, and it is the only one I know by her.
Hmm - I don't think I've ever actually read the lyrics before, although I've heard the song a lot. Why does she keep saying she just needs "a little bit"?
