Respect Means Listen

# **What Respect Means to Crazy Sue** 🖤🌹 **[Verse 1]** Respect to me is knocking first, Not walking in like I don’t matter. It’s hearing what I’m trying to say, Not turning every moment into chatter. It’s giving me space when I need some peace, And letting me rest when I fall asleep. It’s knowing my boundaries aren’t a joke, They’re simple promises I need you to keep. **[Pre-Chorus]** You don’t have to understand Every little thing I do. Just listen when I tell you What works best for Crazy Sue. **[Chorus]** **Respect means listen when I say no,** Give me time, don’t rush me, let me go slow. Knock on my door, give me privacy too, That’s what respect means to **Crazy Sue**. Don’t talk over me, don’t make my choice, Give me the chance to use my own voice. Treat me like a person in everything you do— **That’s what respect means to Crazy Sue.** **[Verse 2]** If I’m sleeping and there’s nothing wrong, Please don’t wake me just because you can. And if you really need to wake me up, One calm person—that’s the better plan. Not six people crowded around my bed, Not six different voices above my head. Give me ten minutes before I need to go, Let me wake gently, steady and slow. **[Chorus]** **Respect means listen when I say no,** Give me time, don’t rush me, let me go slow. Knock on my door, give me privacy too, That’s what respect means to **Crazy Sue**. Don’t talk over me, don’t make my choice, Give me the chance to use my own voice. Treat me like a person in everything you do— **That’s what respect means to Crazy Sue.** **[Bridge]** Respect isn’t difficult, It doesn’t cost a thing. It’s asking instead of assuming, And listening when I speak. It’s remembering I have feelings, Preferences, choices and a mind. It’s patience when I need it, And being thoughtful, calm and kind. I might be **Crazy Sue**, Loud, silly, gothic too, But underneath the crazy I deserve respect from you. 🖤 **[Breakdown]** Ask me. Don’t assume. Knock first. Don’t enter my room. One voice. Not six. Give me time. It’s easy to fix. **[Final Chorus]** **Respect means hearing what I have to say,** Not brushing my feelings or choices away. Give me some warning, tell me what you’ll do, That’s what respect means to **Crazy Sue**. My room, my space, my body, my voice, Whenever possible, give me a choice. Be calm, be kind, and follow things through— **That’s what respect means to Crazy Sue.** **[Outro]** You don’t need roses. 🌹 You don’t need a grand display. Just listen. Just ask. And respect what I say. Because the biggest way To show that you care… Is to treat **Crazy Sue** Like a person who matters there. 🖤
