Love Yourself Lyrics by Justin Bieber

Verse 1

For all the times that you rained on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart, oh girl, for goodness’ sake
You think I’m cryin’ on my own, well, I ain’t

Refrain

And I didn’t wanna write a song
‘Cause I didn’t want anyone thinking I still care
I don’t, but you still hit my phone up
And baby, I’ll be movin’ on
And I think you should be somethin’ I don’t wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that

Pre-Chorus

My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I’ve been so caught up in my job, didn’t see what’s going on
But now I know, I’m better sleeping on my own

Chorus

‘Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I’m still holdin’ on to somethin’
You should go and love yourself

Verse 2

But when you told me that you hated my friends
The only problem was with you and not them
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
And tried to make me forget where I came from

Refrain

And I didn’t wanna write a song
‘Cause I didn’t want anyone thinking I still care
I don’t, but you still hit my phone up
And baby, I’ll be movin’ on
And I think you should be somethin’ I don’t wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that

Pre-Chorus

My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I’ve been so caught up in my job, didn’t see what’s going on
But now I know, I’m better sleeping on my own

Chorus

‘Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I’m still holdin’ on to somethin’
You should go and love yourself

Bridge

For all the times that you made me feel small
I fell in love, now I feel nothin’ at all
I never felt so low and I was vulnerable
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

Chorus

‘Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I’m still holdin’ on to somethin’
You should go and love yourself
‘Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I’m still holdin’ on to somethin’
You should go and love yourself
