- (She's Gonna) Respect Me
Testo (She's Gonna) Respect Me
Testo (She's Gonna) Respect Me
There aren't any ladies present here in this room, are there?
So it's just us gentlemen, isn't it?
You know, I won't try to please her, I can't try to appease her,
Yes, I can't.
Even if this means that I won't be a man who sees her.
Yes.
You know, she can go if she wants to go, she can run if she wants to run.
But that's okay, cause I believe in everything I have done.
And this way she gonna--someday she's gonna respect me.
She'll say, "Jonathan, what you thinking'?" and I tell her everything.
Even if sometimes I'm scared to tell her, and I know it's gonna sting.
If that's too much for her, and she turns cold as ice.
That's okay, I believe in tellin' the truth, and I'm willing to pay the
price.
And she gonna--she's gonna respect me.
See, I'm a man, not a boy, I can't worry what she gonna think about me.
I'm a man now, and not a boy, and I can't worry what she'll do or think
about me.
Well, she can go if she wants to go, but I got to do the things that I
believe.
Hi-o Hi-o Silver.
Hi-o Hi-o Silver.
Hi-o Hi-o Silver.
She gonna-she's gonna respect me.
Look, sometimes we bound to argue, sometimes we bound to fight.
I don't want her tryin' to agree with me when I know she must still think
she's right.
I don't like that.
She can't lean on me, she's gotta think for herself.
Well, if leavin' me's better, that's good, if she thinks that'll help.
I want her to grow up, you know.
And this way she's gonna--she's gonna--she's gonna --she's gonna--respect me.
And that's what I want.
So it's just us gentlemen, isn't it?
You know, I won't try to please her, I can't try to appease her,
Yes, I can't.
Even if this means that I won't be a man who sees her.
