Love yourself


There's a girl She's got all the money in world But that's not enough She's got designer clothes And no one knows Just how much she hates herself She walks along Her head held high And deep inside she starts to cry Her meals are made By a gourmet chef But she starves herself nonetheless She gets shot down by the football jock And she's not surprised Cause she hates herself a lot Her grades are slipping And she has no rail So she starts a study group So she won't fail The honors students sit in awe At this gorgeous blonde who has it all She doesn't understand The math at all So she sets her head down and she starts to bawl The study group sits by her side And calms her down And she starts to subside Now she's calm and they start again And she's doing that math inside her head They ask her why she needed help And she replied with a melancholy whelp They say she's got the brains and she has the brawn So they start to wonder what could be wrong She starts to realize that all she needs Is a little faith and to just believe Cause all I'll ever need Is just to love myself
