[Intro]
All I want is a little respect
All I need is a little respect
Ha, oh!
Ooh, ooh (Uh, uh, yeah)
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
Have you ever had a girl to call up your man... (Huh!)
Better tell her step back, step back (Ah!)
...and she claimin' that your man is her man? (Uh!)
Gonna get her wig knocked way back (What!)
But you gotta act right and not let it lack now (Ah, ah, ah, ah!)
I'm a lover, not a fighter (Ugh!)
But if she keep on disrespectin', I might just (Woo!)
If she violate, I got the right to strike her
[Chorus]
Yeah (Uh)
Come up out of these heels (These heels)
Take and pull my hair back (My hair back)
I know I need to chill (All I want)
All I want is a little respect (Respect)
Ladies know how it feels (Oh, oh)
When another girl violates that (That's right)
Know when it's my man, y’all
You better tell that girl to step
[Post-Chorus]
Step back, step back, step back, step back
Tell that girl to step
Step back, step back, step back, step back
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
You know them type of chicks that walk by... (Huh!)
Better tell her keep on walking (Uh-huh!)
...that twist to the side to catch your man's eye? (Ow!)
Turn around to see if he watching (Yeah!)
Those them type of girls you set straight (Straight!)
If you don't, they will keep gawking (For real, yeah!)
But you better shut it down before it's too late now (Come on!)
Tell her she don't want no problems (Ooh!)
[Chorus]
Yeah (Yeah)
Come up out of these heels (These heels, these heels)
Take and pull my hair back (My hair back)
I know I need to chill
All I want is a little respect (Respect)
Ladies know how it feels (All my ladies know how it feels)
When another girl violates that
Know when it's my man, y’all
You better tell that girl to step (Step back, step back)
[Bridge]
I am not the one to be played with, tell that girl to step (Step back)
I ain't got no time for the bullshit (Ooh, ooh)
You should learn some respect (I think you need to learn some respect)
'Cause if a girl came clockin' your man, you wouldn't like that (Oh, no, mmm)
I'm not one to go and start fights (I'm not one, go and start fights, I’m not the type)
You gotta cop your own 'cause this one is mine (Mi-i-i-ine!)
[Chorus]
Yeah
Come up out of these heels (Oh, no)
Take and pull my hair back (Oh, no)
I know I need to chill
All I want is a little respect (Some respect, ah)
Ladies know how it feels (Hey)
When another girl violates that (What, what?)
Know when it's my man, y’all
You better tell that girl to step (Yeah, oh, oh)
Come up out of these heels (These heels)
Take and pull my hair back (Yeah, come on, ooh)
I know I need to chill (Step back, step back)
All I want is a little respect (All I want is a little respect)
Ladies know how it feels (Hey)
When another girl violates that (Oh)
Know when it's my man, y’all
You better tell that girl to step
[Outro]
All I want is a little respect, step back, step back (What?)
Tell that girl to step
All I need is a little respect, step back, step back (All I)
You better tell that girl to step (Want is a little respect)
All I want is a little respect, woah (Step back, step back)

All I need is a little respect, step back, step back (Come on)
You better tell that girl to step
