	Story Behind the Song There's always a story behind the song, isn't there? I was learning to be submissive to my husband (wherever he is:) I know who he is; I've known since 1998, but he wasn't ready for me and I wasn't ready for him. As I was writing this song in the doctor's office (OB/GYN!) I was thinking about him and how I wished that he could have experienced the woman that I have become instead of the 'Springer broad' I once was. The title came from something his sister said to me once: "Christina you are supposed to be his backbone." I thought about that, and asked God how it fits in HIS plan and this is what I came up with. Incidently, this extraordinary man that I still love, composed the music for this track Lyrics excerpt from "Respect" - April 7, 2002 Evangelist Dr. Doris K. Limbrick ACTS FULL GOSPEL COGIC, Oakland, CA Dr. Bob Jackson, Pastor I'm only human but I still want it all Navis and Cadis and shopping sprees at the mall We've got the Lord to catch us everyday when we fall So stick to the script and just follow the protocol Look babydoll I'm not gon' beat around the bush I need to tell you something I've been keeping on the shush Been thinking of the ways that I can make you happy Rub your shoulders and back and twist up your nappy Give you everything you need so we can succeed in life Yes Boo I want to be your wife I need a Chief Pop Um Collar To make me scream and holla While we stack dollars Trustin' in the Father If you want a Do Right Woman You gots to be a Do Right Man The kind of man I need Is walking in the Master's Plan I don't wanna love you baby But I can't change what is I'm not down with what's hers is ours But what's his is his Flesh of my flesh Bone of my bone I'm the only one to make you scream and moan God said it wasn't good for man to be alone A house ain't a home without a backbone I'm a woman I'm a backbone I'm a woman I'm a backbone I wanna be down witchu Can u be down wit me So we can hustle together And raise a family Honesty fidelity and loyalty Are some of those things we're gonna need Security that comes from up above If we don't show Him love We're sure to scrub Communication's key While we stack our dubs, raise our cubs Rub-a-dub and kick it in the hot tub Flesh of my flesh Bone of my bone I'm the only one to make you scream and moan God said it wasn't good for man to be alone A house ain't a home without a backbone I'm a woman I'm a backbone I'm a woman I'm a backbone Now I lay me down to sleep These promises I vow to keep Be down witchu in every way But we can't forget to pray Keep our spirits on the High Keep our situation tight Share my bed with at night Doin' all the things we like
