Respect Aretha Franklin
What you want? Baby, I got what you need.
Do you know I got it?
All I’m asking 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 am not going to do you wrong cause I don’t want to.
All I’m asking 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.
I’m about to give you all of my money.
And all I’m asking in return, honey, is to give me my profits.
When you get home just a Yeah baby when you get home yeah
Oh, your kisses sweeter than honey and guess what? So is my money.
All I want you to do for me is give it to me when you get home.
Yeah Baby whips it to me. Respect just a little bit when you get home now.
RESPECT. Find out what it means to me. RESPECT. Take care.
Oh, a little respect, whoa, baby, a little respect, I get tired, keep on trying.
You’re running out of fooling, and I am not lying, respect.
When you come home or you might walk in and find out I’m gone.
I got to have a little respect.
Like a Rolling Stone Bob Dylan
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
People would call, say, ”Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you’re going to have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but know you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it isn’t no good
You shouldn’t let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Isn’t it hard when you discover that
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re drinking, thinking that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you’d better take your diamond ring, you’d better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Hotel California Eagles
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of Colitas
rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
“This could be Heaven or this could be hell”
Then she lit up the candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I though I heard them say……
＊Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place(such a lovely face)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Anytime of year
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot pretty
Pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweet
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
“Please bring me my wine”
He said ,“We haven’t had that spirit Here since nineteen sixty nine:
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say……
＊Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring you alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice and she said,
“We are all just prisoners here of our own device”
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the beast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place
I was before Relax, said the night man
“We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave”
那些美好的、爱的记忆, 又充满在我们心中, 祝福您, 拥有光明希望的每一天。
