I really never thought I’d be saying this, but this anti domestic violence video is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen this week. I know that sounds very very strange, but watch it with sound and you’ll see what I mean!
The video titled ‘Treat All Women With Respect’ was created by daddydada.com to help spread the message that it’s time to end domestic violence and sexual assault. Obviously we are in 100% agreement with that and I guess the fact that this video is now being shared all over social media, means that, in an odd way it is doing its job!
We’ve transcribed the lyrics for you, in case you want to sing along…
Treat All Women With Respect Lyrics
1,2,3,4, no more women on the floor.
Chorus
Treat all women with respect, what you give is what you get
Treat all women with respect I say
Verse 1
Heads up guys, I’m talkin’ to you
Life’s not easy, so what you gonna’ do
Step to the plate and be a man
Never hit a woman or abuse a child
It’s just wrong and illegal too
Someday it will catch up with you
Times have changed, domestic violence,
Will no longer go down and be silenced
Use your mind, not your fist
True love is full of bliss
Keep your job, stay out of jail
Control your anger and no more bail
Chorus
Treat all women with respect, what you give is what you get
Treat all women with respect I say
Verse 2
Don’t be a baby daddy and walk away
Be a father, it’s ok to stay
To father a child is just the beginning
With child and mother in your life that is winning
Bond with your child and lead the right way
Give them your love, give them your time
Set a good examle and share your life
Reverse the vicious cycle of abandonment abuse
Know your child, love your child and provide
She might be the next Beyonce or Sally Ride.
Chorus
Treat all women with respect, what you give is what you get
Treat all women with respect I say
1,2,3,4, no more women on the floor.
Verse 3
Now ladies out there let me talk to you
It’s ok to say no to men and still be cool
Stand up for yourself and then decide
What you gonna’ do with your own life
Use your brain and finish school
Don’t fall for a guy who acts like a fool
Is he the kind of guy that’s gonna’ care for you?
Too many women have their innocence stolen
Repeating a vicious cycle that must be broken
Respect yourself and leave a man who strikes
Find a good man who will treat you right
1,2,3,4, no more women on the floor.
Verse 4
Men, women, kids take pride and have hope
Have a bright future and that’s real dope
There’s redemption out there just waiting for you
Get an education and work hard too
We must change our ways and see the light
It’s what we make of ourselves each day and night
Stay together, pray together and everyone scream
Work together, take pride and join the team
Chorus
Treat all women with respect, what you give is what you get
Treat all women with respect I say
1,2,3,4, no more women on the floor.
