jonathan richman – (she’s gonna) respect me lyrics

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
respect me.
and that’s what i want.
