BABY, LOVE YOURSELF

You'll find time to lose yourself in love 

Put the happiness of others above your own 

Find joy in the things that make them happy 

Sometimes to the loss of your own—

Baby, love yourself. 

You've seen how wicked the world can be

How cold it gets out there 

How quickly people can turn on you

For reasons you can't even think—

Baby, love yourself. 

You're in love with how they love you, 

You're blind to how amazing 

How wonderful a creature you are

But you surrender only to what they say you are—

Baby, love yourself. 

You're happy and you can't help it, 

You're sad and you don't know why

You feel like the best thing in the world,

Then you mess up again big time—

Baby love yourself. 

Unconditionally and unashamedly, 

Shower no apologies unreservedly, 

Show the world how much you care, 

But really you don't even have to care

That Baby, you love yourself. 

When you feel rejected 

When no one has your back

When you feel unlovable 

Or consider yourself despicable—

Baby, love yourself.

When the nights get dark and you see nobody

When the days grow cold and you need somebody 

When the road gets tough and you feel so lonely 

When it's hard and the tears flow so freely—

Baby, love yourself.

Baby, love yourself 

Baby, love yourself 

Baby, love yourself 

Baby, love yourself 

Baby, love yourself...
