I'VE GOT TO LOVE MYSELF ENOUGH
CHORUS
I've got to love myself enough to say, "That's OK!
I thought I blew it today, but I'll bounce back and learn from my mistakes.
Since I'll keep on aiming high, I know I'll get there by and by.
In the meantime, I'll love myself today.
In the meantime, I'll love myself today!"
(1)
Some people go through life always putting themselves down,
believing that their best just isn't good enough,
That's a shame 'cause kicking yourself takes such a lot of energy
Why not use that energy to move you towards your goal?
Use that energy to move towards your goal!
CHORUS
(2)
No one's perfect; we all sometimes fall short of our goals.
Just find the gift that's there, and the lesson to be learned.
So pick yourself up and dust yourself off
and pat yourself on the back for things you've done that turned out fine;
yeah, so many things you've done that turned out fine!
CHORUS
(3)
I've got to love and accept myself just as I am,
with my strengths and my weaknesses and all;
'cause before I can love and accept another person,
I've got to start with myself; yeah, I've got to start with myself.
FINAL CHORUS
I've got to love myself enough to say, "That's OK!
I thought I blew it today, but I'll bounce back and learn from my mistakes.
Since I'll keep on aiming high, I know I'll get there by and by.
In the meantime, I'll love myself today.
In the meantime, I'll love myself today!
In the meantime, I'll love myself today.
In the meantime, I'll love myself today!"
Lyrics by Linda K. Williams with Patricia Mikkelson
Dedicated to Kenosha Burgess and Latasha Jackson (former students of Linda's)

YOU'LL REALLY LIKE ME
(A "mixer" song)
(PERFORMANCE SUGGESTION: Sing to a partner, then switch partners as many times as desired.)
(1)
I'm sure that
when you get to know me,
you will really, really like me.
Yes, when you get to know me
I just know you're gonna like me.
(2)
I'm sure that
when I get to know you,
I will really, really like you.
Yes, when I get to know you,
I just know I'm gonna like you.
(On tape, entire song is sung 3 times; 1 verse is then sung once more.)

I'LL PICTURE MYSELF SUCCEEDING
CHORUS
I'll picture myself succeeding
when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do,
all my best can come shining through.
REPEAT CHORUS
(1)
Whatever the goal I want to reach,
I'll clearly see myself succeeding in my mind.
That helps me focus my energy on getting there
so what I picture can come true in time.
CHORUS
(2)
When a problem comes up for me to solve
I'll get in touch with my emotions and my dreams
I'll turn my feelings into helpful words,
If we connect with each other,
Our success rate will be higher, and...
CHORUS
(INSTRUMENTAL: Use this time to picture yourself being successful at something that is important to you.)
FINAL CHORUS
I'll picture myself succeeding
when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do,
all my best can come shining through.
and then, in everything I do,
all my best can come shining through.
