Keep on pressuring me 

To do more and do more 
Don't move on unless you can see that 
I'm all that 
It ain't easy waking up early 
To stay up late 
I know God won't put more 
On me on me 
Than I can take 

And I know I know 

Yes I know that I 
I must take care of me 
(You better love you say you love yourself first) 
And I've been told that I 
I can't put you above me 
(You better love you better love yourself first) 

No I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I have decided to love myself 
And no I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I'm not if you don't love you can't love nobody else 

I do love you 

But sometimes 
I feel (I feel) 
Like this one thing's so so unfair (so unfair) 
You don't even noticed 
Me when you down so 
I pray everyday you start loving me 

Yes I know that I 
I must take care of me 
(You better love you say love yourself first) 
And I been told that I 
Can't put you above 
(You better love you better love yourself first) 

No I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I have decided to love myself 
And no I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I'm not if you don't love you can't love nobody else 
(Nobody else, nobody else) 

You can't love nobody before you love yourself first 
You gotta love yourself (keep on mistreating me) 
Mind Body and Soulâ?¦ (gotta love yourself) 

And I know I know 

Yes I know that I 
I must take care of me 
(You better love you say love yourself first) 
And I've been told that I 
I can't put you above me 
(You better love you better love yourself first) 

No I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I have decided to love myself 
And no I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I'm not if you don't love you 
You can't love nobody else! 

No I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I have decided to love myself 
And no I'm not gon' keep on mistreating me 
I'm not if you don't love you can't love nobody else 

Break it down now 
Tie it down 

Mistreating me (No you can't) 
Love yourself
