Little sister

spends her whole

life searching,

For the man who can

touch her heart

But the lover that she's

with ain't working

I hate to see her cry,

why can't she realize

She deserves a better situation,

Then a fist and a kiss goodnight

I wish she'd take another's invitation

To see that real love, is more than

being tough

Sister, don't be afraid to let him go



You got to love yourself,

If you want somebody else to love you

You've got to love yourself,

You've got to reach inside,

If you're ever gonna find someone

to love you

You got to love yourself



I don't wanna preach the bible

I just wanna reach the truth

A loverman shouldn't be your rival

Only to raise a hand,

never to understand

There's a voice inside every person

That can speak when

the heart is numb

You've got to scream

before the body worsens

You're just a step away,

from being free of pain

Sister, don't be afraid to let him go



You got to love yourself,

If you want somebody

else to love you

You got to love yourself,

You've got to reach inside,

If you're ever gonna find

someone to love you

You got to love yourself

You got to love yourself,

If you want somebody

else to love you

You got to love yourself,

You've got to reach inside,

If you're ever gonna find

someone to love you



You got to love yourself
