Lyrics

VERSE
I like my job, and I like my wife
I like my kids, and I like my life
I like you, too, but an innocent embrace
Today might well get me thrown out of this place

CHORUS
I’d hug you but ― I don’t want to go to jail
I’d hug you but ― who do I know would go my bail?
Used to be, I could be a regular male
But I hug you today, you might kick my tail

VERSE
They say we’re all pigs, but I don’t agree
Most of us’re pretty decent, the way I see
As we try to make it through this very dark time
We just need to understand the brand new bottom line

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
No one should have to say “me, too”
Time for us to know what not to do

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, that’s what all this means to me
So I’d hug you but ― I guess I’d better leave you be
