Gotta know the truth, i need to know why,
when you got a man, you dont want nobody nearby,
you dont want nobody touchin or none of that,
you want your respect, what you give is what you get
and i know i cant be mad at the way yall show your love to me,
i know that she loves me too much to, let it end..but it be killing her
.yeah..
(pre-chorus
je)
I remember, i remember, i remember when, it was so easy to have a girlfriend,

but you know
..you

(chorus)
you can hang all the hate to the side,
cause girl is still my lady
.(respect my girl
)
you want me and your real sexy but
girl thats still my baby
.(respect my girl
