[Verse 1]
Bm
If you disrespect anybody that you run in to
Bm
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you
Bm
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand
Bm
Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing
Bm
You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way
Bm
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day


[Chorus]
Bm              D Bm              D
Respect yourself, respect yourself


[Bridge]
       F#
If you don't respect yourself
       F#
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Bm              D Bm              D
Respect yourself, respect yourself


[Verse 2]
Bm
If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
Bm
You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you
Bm
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
Bm
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you
Bm
Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man
