  1. Some Respect

written with Chris Difford and Jan Leyers

Lyrics

The car in her driveway's
much bigger than mine
I guess i owe him some respect
He never leaves her, he's there all the time
He's got a lot to protect
But i'm the one who wants her
The one who wants her bad
And i'm the one who needs her
The best thing i never had

She must see something in him i can't find
I guess i owe him some respect
I grant that his nose
is much bigger than mine
Will it help him to detect
That i'm the one who wants her
Right outside the door
And i'm the one who'll have her
Who'll give her so much more

He's up on a stepladder fixing her blind
I guess i owe him some respect
Should he lose his balance
he could break his spine
Just wishful thinkin i suspect
Cause i'm the one who wants her
I want her oh so bad
And i'll be there beside her
I'd hate to see her sad

We'll buy a bouquet
to brighten up his grave
I guess we'll owe him some respect
I'll be supportive and she will be brave
with no choice but to accept
that i'm the one who wants her
The one who wants her bad
And i'm the one who needs her
The best thing she's ever had

Her favorite doberman leaps up at me
I guess i owe him some respect
Brutally lifting me from my reverie
i run before before his jaws connect
Cause he's the one who wants me
The one who wants me bad
and he's the one who'll have me
The best meal he's ever had
