If you disrespect everybody    That you run into    How in the world do you think    Anybody supposed to respect you    If you dont give a heck about    The man with a bible in his hand    Just get out the way and let    The gentleman do his thing       Youre the kind of gentleman    That wants everything their way    Take the sheet off yur face boy    Its a brand new day       Chorus    Respect yourself    Respect yourself    If you dont respect yourself    Aint nobody gonna give a good    Ca-hoot na na na oh oh    Respect yourself       If youre walking around thinking    That the world owes you something    Because you're here    Youre going out the world backward    Like you did when you first came here    Keep talking about the president    Wont stop air pollution    Put your hand over your mouth    When you cough    That'll help the solution       You cuss around womenfolk    You don't even know their name    Then youre dumb enough to think    That it makes you a big ol' man       Chorus   Respect yourself    Respect yourself    If you dont respect yourself    Aint nobody gonna give a good    Ca-hoot na na na oh oh    Respect yourself
