    You say that you play too loud, well baby that's tough,
    you say that you got too much, can't get enough.
    They tell you that you look a fool, and baby I'm a fool for you,
    they say that your mind's diseased, well, shake your stuff.

    You say that you want respect, honey, for what ?
    for all the things that you've done to me, thanks a lot !
   C'mon, get up off your bended knees, you can, set your mind at ease,
    my temperature's running hot,
    and I've been waiting all night for a bite of what you've got.
