Can't you see

I'm easily

Bothered by persistence

One step from lashing

Out at you

 

You want in

To get under my skin

Call yourself a friend

I've got more friends like you

What do I do?

 

Is there no standard anymore?

What it takes, who I am, where I've been belong?

You can't be something you're not

Be yourself by yourself

Stay away from me

A lesson learned in life

Known from the dawn of time

 

Respect, walk

What did you say?

Respect, walk

Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me?

 

Run your mouth

When I'm not around

It's easy to achieve

You cry to weak friends

That sympathize

 

Can you hear

The violins

Playing your song?

Those same friends

Tell me your every word

 

Is there no standard anymore?

What it takes, who I am, where I've been belong?

You can't be something you're not

Be yourself by yourself

Stay away from me

A lesson learned in life

Known from the dawn of time

 

Respect, walk

What did you say?

Respect, walk

Are you talking to me?

Respect, walk

What did you say?

Respect, walk

Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me?

 

No way, punk

 

Respect, walk

What did you say?

Respect, walk

Are you talking to me?

Respect, walk

What did you say?

Respect, walk

Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me?

 

Walk on home, boy!
