Well, I remember when I met you baby

Back a long time ago

Well, you were telling me you loved me

I bet you just didn't know

Well, now you say

That you've got news for me

Well, I know it's the hurting kind

Well, I know you're gonna tell me

Baby, you can never see

And you keep on screaming at me

As I'm going out the door

Chorus:

Respect me in the morning

Don't love you no more

Well, I've been coming here

Loving you baby

Seven long nights a week

But every time I leave you

You're right back out on the streets

And you been saying you've been true to me

My friends they say

You're telling me lies

And if you don't straighten up your act

I think I'm gonna blacken your eyes

And you keep screaming at me

As I'm walking out the door.

Well, I remember whe I met you baby

Back a long time ago

You were telling me you loved me

How much you just didn't know

But now you say you got news for me

Well, I know it's a hurting kind

I know you're gonna tell me

Baby, you can never be mine

And you keep on screaming at me

As I'm going out the door

Chorus:

Oh, respect me in your morning

I don't want 'round it no more

And you keep on screaming at me

As I'm going out the door

Respect me in the morning

Or don't come 'round here no more.
