Well I was once like you  I wanted to  Be just like you  All the things I'd do  Followed you  The things I said  The things I'd do  Dont do it again  And I wont hear  And I wont see  What you say  Say to me  I want respect  Say nothing left  I hold my own  I hold my  Wanted to be just like you  My style my hair  Just like you  But I know now  To be a man  Must be myself  From where I stand  And I wont see  And I wont hear  What you say  Say to me  I want respect  Won't take the thing around  I want respect  I want respect  You know when I was a kid  Belonging felt real good  But having respect  Well that feels even better
