The Rolling Stones - respectable

화자는 이제 존경받는 사회 구성원으로서 과거의 걱정에서 벗어났지만, 여전히 현실의 문제들과 마주하고 있다
상대방에 대한 갈망을 느끼면서도, 그와의 관계를 끊고 싶어하는 복잡한 감정을 드러낸다
사회적 위치와 개인적인 갈등 사이에서 갈등하는 모습이 잘 드러난다

Well, now, we're respected in society
We don't worry about the things that we used to be
We're talking heroin with the president
Yes, there's a problem, sir, but it can't be bent
Ah, yes
Well, now, you're a pillar of society
You don't worry 'bout the things that you used to be
You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn
Get out of my life, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't come back
She's so respectable, she's so respectable
She's so delectable, she's so respectable
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
What I say
She's so respectable, she's so respectable
She's so respectable, so respectable
Get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Oh, get out of my life, don't take my wife, don't come back
Alright, boys
