Respect Your Sisters
Respect Your Sisters: A Bluesy Plea for Loyalty and Self-Worth
Lyrics
You doin me wrong girl. You lightin’ a fuse.
You are mistreating me, causing a reaction or setting off a situation.
You doin' me wrong girl and you ain't got no excuse.
You're mistreating me, and you don't have a valid reason or justification.
Now who’s gonna share a pint when you got yourself deep down in the blues?
Who will accompany me for a drink when you're feeling deeply sad?
Tempt a good man down, you gonna find in his moan. (mmm, moan)
If you lead a good man astray, you'll discover it in his expressions of pain or discomfort.
You tempt a good man down girl, you gonna find in his moan. (moan, yeah))
Leading a good man astray will be evident in the sounds of his suffering or discomfort.
That he’s just a dog and you’re nothin’ but his old ddddoggy bone. (ddddoggy bone)
It indicates that the man is just using you for his pleasure without true commitment or respect.
Respect your sisters. Now don’t you be alone. (respect, your sisters, don't you be alone)
Value and honor your fellow women, don’t isolate yourself.
Respect a good man and don’t you tempt him, don't tempt him to roam. (respect)
Show respect to a good man and don't lead him astray, don't make him wander.
You've gotta respect yourself 'cause you’re better than an old ddddoggy bone. (ddddoggy bone)
You should value yourself more than being treated like an object of temporary pleasure for a man.
Look out little lady, you driftin’ astray. (astray)
Be cautious, as you are straying from the right path.
I said, look out little lady, girl you’re driftin’ astray. (look out little lady, astray)
Be careful, you're veering off course from the right direction.
You druggin' on desire, livin for someday.
You are consumed by longing and aspirations for the future.
I know loneliness ain’t easy girl, but you actin’ all cccccrazy. (crazy)
Your behavior due to loneliness is irrational or erratic.
I know loneliness ain’t easy, girl, but you’re actin’ all crazy. (crazy, yes you are)
Your actions due to loneliness seem irrational or unpredictable.
Keep your mits off my man don’t you disrespect me.
Don’t interfere or attempt to steal my partner, show me proper respect.
Respect your sisters and don’t you be alone. (respect your sisters don't you be a lone)
Respect other women and avoid isolation or being alone.
Oh, respect a good man and don’t you tempt him don't tempt him to roam. (respect a good man)
Show proper regard for a good man and avoid leading him away from commitment.
'Cause you've gotta respect yourself 'cause you’re better than an old ddddoggy bone. (ddddoggy bone, mmm)
Realize your self-worth and don’t allow yourself to be treated as just an object for a man’s pleasure.
Respect your sisters and don’t you be alone.
Value and honor other women, don’t isolate yourself.
