Written: Dianne Warren



I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty

To make me feel beautiful

I don't need you to give me your strength

To make me feel I'm strong

I've got all of the strength that I need

Here inside my own two hands

All that I want is your love and respect

For who I am

What I really need comes from deep inside of me



Chorus:

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty

To make me feel beautiful, no

Don't need you to make me strong

‘Coz I'm strong all on my own

Doesn't come from outside

This beauty, I know, comes from inside my soul



I don't need you to believe in me

To make me know I'm worth believing in

I don't need you to lift me up high

To know I can stand tall

I can stand my own ground

I can stand proud upon my own two feet

Don't have to be part of somebody else to be complete

What I really need comes from deep inside of me



Chorus



Don't need to come to you for confirmation

Because I've finally come to this revelation

What I really need I'm gonna find inside of me

Not in somebody else

Respect comes when you respect yourself



I don't need you to

Chorus



Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty

To make me feel beautiful, no

Don't need you to lift me up

I can stand up on my own

Doesn't come from outside

This beauty, I know, comes from inside my soul



Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
