I don't mean to be the kitty in the middle
But he's playing you second fiddle
Jack's been nimble
Jack's been 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-
Ix-nay on the oyfriend bay
Can he treat you that a way
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Oos lay the oser lay
Those boots are made for alking way
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Not hey diddle diddle dum dum
Boom there go the onomatopoeia
Drop the bomb, sayonara, see ya
A dish, you deserve a silver spoon
Someone to send you over the moon
Don'tcha 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-
Are-E-S-P-E-C-T yourself (yourself) x4
-Chorus-
I don't mean to be the kitty in the middle
But he's playing you second fiddle
Everybody else can see it
But you just won't believe it
-Chorus-
