It's been a long time. Yeah,
Since I've looked in a mirror and liked what I see
It was a hard climb, yeah,
Things are much clearer in my reality and how people see me, yeah
Always feeling ashamed, (Hey), because of what I was told.
Now I'm taking the ugly, and made it beautiful, yeah
I found me a place, where I ain't doin' nothin',
But lovin' myself, and everything about me, yeah
Said I found me a place, and it don't even matter,
What nobody else thinks, 'cause I'm lovin' me, (yeah)
It's been a long time since I sang on a song.
They said my voice was right, but my curves were all wrong
It's such a hard time when the media chooses who wins or who loses
But I gotta fix what your illusions
Oh, no, no longer feelin' the pain. I'm more than good enough.
Gave my power away. But now I back and stronger
I found me a place, where I ain't doin' nothin',
But lovin' myself, and everything about me, yeah
Said I found me a place, where it don't even matter,
What nobody else thinks, 'cause I'm lovin' me, (yeah)
If I'm not a size 2, it don't fit you, it's okay,
I refuse to be dismissed because my skin is darker than yours,
All that power when say "You're pretty in the face", if only I could lose some weight,
Anything you can do, I can do better,
Made up my mind, won't stop never
I found me a place, where I ain't doin' nothin',
But lovin' myself, and everything about me, hey
Said I found me a place, where it don't even matter,
What nobody else thinks, 'cause I'm lovin' me, yeah uh
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself (Everybody)
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself
'Cause I'm lovin' me (Me)
