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
