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!"
