Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We used to be the talk of the town
Before she came around
I didn’t notice at first
Until you stop putting in the work

[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m trying to check it, baby
Before you completely wreck it, baby
I’m standing right here
Don’t make me disappear

[Chorus]
I’m your lady
Respect me
I’m your lady
Respect me
I’m not a slide by
I’m here for real

[Verse 2]
I know the way you look away
When I ask what changed today
Don’t leave me talking to the wall
I gave my all, gave my all

[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m trying to check it, baby
Before you completely wreck it, baby
I’m standing right here
Don’t make me disappear

[Chorus]
I’m your lady
Respect me
I’m your lady
Respect me
I’m not a slide by
I’m here for real

[Bridge]
If you want me, show me
If you need me, know me
Not the girl you keep on hold
Not the heart you let grow cold

[Chorus]
I’m your lady
Respect me
I’m your lady
Respect me
I’m not a slide by
I’m here for real
