[Verse 1]
Why is it so hard to just be myself?
I feel like I'm different from everyone else
Yeah, why am I like this? Can somebody please tell me?
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
I don't really know who's looking back at me
I don't even know who I wanna be

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need to know who I am yet (Am yet)
I don't need to have a solid plan yet (Plan yet)
I don't need to be the same as everyone else
I just need to motherfuckin' love myself

[Chorus]
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself before I love anyone else

[Verse 2]
No matter how hard I try or what I do
I just can never fuckin' impress you
So why am I letting what you say get me down?
I spent my whole life thinking I was wrong
And nobody likes me and it's all my fault
But I'm done with that shit, I finally figured out
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need to know who I am yet
I don't need to have a solid plan yet
I don't need to be the same as everyone else
I just need to motherfuckin' love myself

[Chorus]
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself before I love anyone else
I need to, and I don't need your help
I need to (I need to) just fuckin' love myself
I need to, before I love anyone else
I need to just fuckin' love myself, oh no

[Post-Chorus]
Love myself, oh no
Love myself, oh no

[Bridge]
People are constantly judgin' and eyein'
And plottin' and lyin', so why am I tryin'?
They all gon' talk shit anyway
They're all gon' say what they wanna say
They're all gon' say what they wanna say anyway
That's why I need to
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to love myself
I need to (I need to), I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself before I love anyone else

[Chorus]
I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself before I love anyone else
I need to, and I don't need your help
I need to (I need to) just fuckin' love myself
I need to, before I love anyone else
I need to (Love myself) just fuckin' love myself, oh no

[Post-Chorus]
(I need to love, I need to love, I need to love)
I need to love myself, I need to love myself
I need to (I need to)
(I need to love, I need to love, I need to love)
Just fuckin' love myself, oh no

[Outro]
I need to love, I need to love, I need to love
I need to love, I need to love, I need to love
