You Can Love Yourself (Album Version)

My baby she wrote me a letter

She didn't call me on the phone

Five little words was all she wrote

See ya later I'm gone

She had no explanation

About why she had to go

Well I can't take a joke,

But I can take a hint

She don't love me no more

Chorus:

But if nobody loves you

And you feel like dust on an empty shelf

Just remember

You can love yourself

My mother says she loves me

But you know she could

Be jivin' too

And everybody's always

Criticizing everthying that I do

I work 9 to 5, do the best I can

Try to please the boss

I bought a big ol' house,

And a brand new car

And then he laid me off

Chorus

Everytime I meet a lady

I wanna try to get to know

Either I'm too small or

She's too tall

She's rich and I'm po'

So I called my old

Friend Hazel Mae

Asked her out for a little date

She said "I'm married now and I got

Three little kids, boy

Ya' just a little too late"

Chorus 2X
