Ranking to "Respect" by Aretha Franklin

(Ooh) What you want
(Ooh) Baby, we got it
(Ooh) Number one
(Ooh) You know you want it
(Ooh) Earn the top spot
(Ooh) Just move a little higher, on our next list (Up a little bit)
Admissions (Up a little bit)
On our next list (Up a little bit)
C'mon (Up a little bit)

We ain't here to do you wrong, just reportin'
On post-grad employment (ooh) among your lawyers (ooh)
All we're askin' (ooh)
Is how many pass the bar on their first try (Up a little bit)
Tell me (Up a little bit)
Columbia (Up a little bit)
Yeah (Up a little bit)

CLS students, they just make money
You need more public servants, honey
When you've got judges and senators
Come'n talk to me (Up a, up a, up a, up a)
Ranking (Up a, up a, up a, up a)
No more partners (Up a little bit)
Baby (Up a little bit)

(Ooh) Number one's
(Ooh) Sweeter than honey
(Ooh) To get it
(Ooh) Got to spend money
(Ooh) All I want you to do (ooh) is drop
Your student-faculty ratio (Low low low low)
Yeah baby (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Be number one, now (Up a little bit)

Improve your facilities
That is what impresses me
R-A-N-K-I-N-G
I hold all the keys

A little higher (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
Whoa, baby (Up a little bit)
A little higher (Up a little bit)

You got the fame (Up a little bit)
You're coasting on the past (Up a little bit)
And your big name (Up a little bit)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Columbia (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't you let it sink (Ranking, up a little bit)
Not on your watch (Up a little bit)
Your got to have (Up a little bit)
A higher ranking (Up a little bit)
(Ooh) What you want
(Ooh) Baby, I got
(Ooh) What you need
(Ooh) Do you know I got it?
(Ooh) All I'm askin'
(Ooh) Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Mister (just a little bit)

I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong (ooh) 'cause I don't wanna (ooh)
All I'm askin' (ooh)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my profits
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah, baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

(Ooh) Your kisses
(Ooh) Sweeter than honey
(Ooh) And guess what?
(Ooh) So is my money
(Ooh) All I want you to do (ooh) for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re ,re)
Yeah, baby (re, re, re ,re)

Find out what it means to me

Take care, TCB

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it
to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of foolin' (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(Re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
