Love Yourself (Love Yourself)
For all the times that you rained on my parade,
You've spoiled my fun more times than I can count,
And all the clubs you get in using my name.
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care,
I don't, but you still hit my phone up,
You're still calling to chill and I'm not so keen on picking up,
And baby I be
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone,
My mama is nice to people but she doesn't like you that much,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong. And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on,
And now I know I'm better sleeping on my own,
And now I know I'm not.
And now I know I'm better sleeping on my own,
Cause if you like the way you look that much,
And if you like the way you look,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself. And love yourself,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself,
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin',
If you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin',
You should go and love yourself,
You should go and love yourself.
You should go and love yourself,
You're wrong. You should go and love yourself.
But when you told me that you hated my friends,
Remember when you told me that you hated my friends,
The only problem was with you and not them,
The only problem was with you and not them,
The only problem was with you and not them. The problem was with you and not them,
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong,
and tried to make me forget where I was,
And tried to make me forget where I was,
And tried to make me forget where I was,
And tried to make me forget where I was,
And tried to make me forget where I was,
And told me that I was. And tried to make me forget where I came from,
And I didn't wanna write a song,
Cause I didn't want anyone still thinking I was wrong,
Cause I didn't want anyone still thinking I was wrong. I didn't want anyone thinking I still care,
I don't but you still hit my phone up,
You still hit me up and I don't want to,
And baby I be movin' on and I don't want to,
And I didn't wanna write a song. Baby I be movin' on and I think you should be somethin',
Baby I've got it all out of my system,
I don't wanna hold back maybe you should know that,
I don't wanna hold back maybe you should know that,
I don't wanna hold back the old days that I remembered. I don't wanna hold back maybe you should know that,
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong,
And I never like to admit that I was wrong.
And I've been so caught up in my job didn't see what's going on,
And now I know I'm better sleeping on my own,
And I'm not sure what's going on. And now I know I'm better sleeping on my own,
And now I know I'm better sleeping on my own,
Cause if you like the way you look that much,
And if you like the way you look now,
Oh baby you should go and love yourself,
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin',
If you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin',

Then you're wrong You should go and love yourself,
For all the times that you made me feel small,

Was I a fool to let you break down my walls,
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls,
