I don't want- hmm
I don't want your love
I don't want love
I don't want your-
I don't want love, I want respect
I don't want love, I want respect
You could've had it all
But you only want my body
I don't want love, I want respect
I hate the way that you look at me
And I hate the way that you talk to me
You don't think I noticed
So I just act clueless
And that's what I let you believe (yeah yeah)
You're saying all these words you think I wanna hear
But no, I don't
I want you to see the real me but you won't
I'm not looking for attention
I just wanted to be heard
Want you to see my potential
I don't need you to pretend shit
'Cause I'm not looking for love
I ain't playing no games
I don't want love, I want respect
(Ah ah ah ah ah)
I don't want love, I want respect
(Don't want your love)
You could've had it all
But you only want my body (yeah)
I don't want love, I want respect
If you love me like you say so
Then why don't you wanna see me grow?
Can you really call that love though?
I'm not yours, I'm good on my own
You just want me sitting pretty
Wait for you to come and get me
You won't even listen to what I gotta say
'Cause you don't care (oh oh oh)
I'm not looking for attention
I just wanted to be seen and heard
Want you to see my potential
I don't need you to pretend shit
'Cause I'm not looking for love
And I ain't playing no games
I don't want love, I want respect
(Ah ah ah ah ah)
I don't want love, I want respect
(Don't want your love)
You could've had it all
But you only want my body (yeah)
I don't want love, I want respect
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
You could've had it all
But you only want my-
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
