Little sister
Spends her whole
Life searching,

For the man who can
Touch her heart
But the lover that she's

With ain't working
I hate to see her cry,
Why can't she realize

She deserves a better situation,
Then a fist and a kiss goodnight
I wish she'd take another's invitation

To see that real love, is more than
Being tough
Sister, don't be afraid to let him go


You got to love yourself,
If you want somebody else to love you

You've got to love yourself,
You've got to reach inside,
If you're ever gonna find someone

To love you
You got to love yourself


I don't wanna preach the bible
I just wanna reach the truth
A loverman shouldn't be your rival

Only to raise a hand,
Never to understand
There's a voice inside every person

That can speak when
The heart is numb
You've got to scream

Before the body worsens
You're just a step away,
From being free of pain

Sister, don't be afraid to let him go

You got to love yourself,

If you want somebody
Else to love you
You got to love yourself,

You've got to reach inside,
If you're ever gonna find
Someone to love you

You got to love yourself
You got to love yourself,
If you want somebody

Else to love you
You got to love yourself,
You've got to reach inside,

If you're ever gonna find
Someone to love you


You got to love yourself
