With all the millions and millions of men in the world
I'm so proud you only have eyes for me, baby
Let me say when the chips were down
And almost next to worse
We're there pushing when I found
When I found that you were my nurse
Respect to you, baby
Respect every time
Respect to you, mama

Respect to you, mama

I must be the luckiest most fortunate one of the men in the world
It feels too good to tell everyone how I feel
When she sees me in the crowd, she can call my name out loud
Alongside me on the street makes me feel proud
So, respect to you, baby
Respect every time
Respect to you, mama
She must have had me on her mind
Respect to you, baby
