I don't mean to be the kitty in the middle
Bored of playing you second fiddle
Jack spin nimble
Jack spin quick
The way he treats you makes me sick
Don't you know that you'll never change him
That dog, you can never cage him
Everybody else can see it
But you just won't believe it

-Chorus-
Ixnay on the oyfriend bay
Can he treat you that a way
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Ooslay the ooserlay
Those boots are made for alking way
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum

Boom there go there onomatopoeia
Drop the bomb, sayonara, see ya
You a dish
You deserve a silver spoon
Someone to send you over the moon
Don'tchu know how you should be treated
You a dime, don't get cheated
Everybody else can see it
But you just won't believe it

-Chorus-

R-E-S-P-E-C-T yourself (yourself) x4

-Chorus-

I don't mean to be the kitty in the middle
Bored of playing you second fiddle
Everybody else can see it
But you just won't believe it

-Chorus-
