Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
[Verse 2]
Take, take, take, take
Take, take, take
[Verse 3]
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
[Verse 4]
It's our occupation, we're dancin' nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why
[Verse 5]
Take, take, take, take
Take, take, take
[Verse 6]
Takin' chances, bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conversation is interrogation
Get out of here, we just don't have the time
[Verse 7]
Take, take, take, take
Take, take, take
[Verse 8]
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us
But you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
[Verse 9]
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
[Verse 10]
Hesitation is just frustration
Give us the music and we're alright
On each occasion, for your information
We can look after ourselves alright
[Verse 11]
Take, take, take, take
Take, take, take
[Verse 12]
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us
But you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
[Verse 13]
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
Respectable
[Verse 14]
Fascination is our sensation
We like to put ourselves on the line
Recreation is our destination
So don't wait up for us tonight
[Verse 15]
Take, take, take, take
Take, take, take
[Verse 16]
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us
But you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
[Verse 17]
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us
But you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
[Verse 18]
Take or leave us
Only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
