Say, Have you ever worked so hard for someone else, And then it fades away? Hey You try so desperately to say, Oh don't you go away, Giving you heart to no one else, To have them fall for someone else
I don't know how to make it through tomorrow, 'Cause I hardly made it through today, Its taken all of me to pack up all my love and back away, 'Cause I was always far from perfect And she was going to be my saving grace, and now she tells me as she walks away.
You got to love yourself Ooo Before you love somebody else (x2)
Its always hard to trust a love when it fades away When it goes astray Oohh, and it takes all your strength to keep heartbreak away, Gotta keep it away. You let her fly unselfishly 'Cause when you love someone you set them free
I don't know how to make it through tomorrow, 'Cause I hardly made it through today, Its taken all of me to pack up all my love and back away, 'Cause I was always far from perfect And she was going to be my saving grace, And now she tells me as she walks away.
You got to love yourself Ooo Before you love somebody else (x2)
I know, I should pick up all the pieces one by one, I should live my life as if it just begun, I should see, I should be free, I should believe, But she just seems to have the longest, strongest, strangest hold on me
So, I will breathe it in, (I will breathe it in) I will breathe it out And I will love again, I know someday I will make it out
I don't know how to make it through tomorrow, 'Cause I hardly made it through today, Its taken all of me to pack up all my love and back away, 'Cause I was always far from perfect And she was going to be my saving grace, And now she tells me as she walks away.
You got to love yourself Ooo Before you love somebody else (x2)
Ooooooooo Yeahhhhhhhh
Before you love somebody else. You got to love yourself, before you love somebody else.
