Mama used to take me across her lap
She used to whip me with a strap when I was bad
I didn't know at the time being bad could lead to crime
But now I'm glad
'Cause she kept me on the double, I stayed out of trouble
Now I understand
When she said, "Boy, you got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man"
When I used to make fun of others
She said, "No, not to your brother," and that ain't all
When someone is feeling low
Think of the nicest things you know to make them feel tall
I will never forget what mama said when she kneeled down and prayed
"Father, guide his hands, put Your arms around his neck
Make him proud to give respect to the other man"
Oh, but now that I'm a man
God has taken my mother's hand, but I'll carry on
Though sometimes I'll have to weep
Mother's love I'll always keep 'cause she made me strong
And if I should ever have a son, we gonna have a lot of fun
And I'll teach him to understand
When I say, "Boy, you got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man"
And I remember what my mama said (boy, you got to give a heck)
(Promise you'll always give respect to the other man)
She said, "Boy, you got to give respect"
She said, "Boy (boy, you got to give a heck)
You got to give a heck" (promise you'll always give respect to the other man)
You got to give respect now, mm
(Boy, you got to give a heck) tou got to give a heck
(Promise you'll always give respect to the other man)
You got to give respect, now
Oh, yeah
She used to whip me with a strap when I was bad
I didn't know at the time being bad could lead to crime
But now I'm glad
'Cause she kept me on the double, I stayed out of trouble
Now I understand
When she said, "Boy, you got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man"
When I used to make fun of others
She said, "No, not to your brother," and that ain't all
When someone is feeling low
Think of the nicest things you know to make them feel tall
I will never forget what mama said when she kneeled down and prayed
"Father, guide his hands, put Your arms around his neck
Make him proud to give respect to the other man"
Oh, but now that I'm a man
God has taken my mother's hand, but I'll carry on
Though sometimes I'll have to weep
Mother's love I'll always keep 'cause she made me strong
And if I should ever have a son, we gonna have a lot of fun
And I'll teach him to understand
When I say, "Boy, you got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man"
And I remember what my mama said (boy, you got to give a heck)
(Promise you'll always give respect to the other man)
She said, "Boy, you got to give respect"
She said, "Boy (boy, you got to give a heck)
You got to give a heck" (promise you'll always give respect to the other man)
You got to give respect now, mm
(Boy, you got to give a heck) tou got to give a heck
(Promise you'll always give respect to the other man)
You got to give respect, now
Oh, yeah
