Lyrics
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, yeah, whoa
Little sister spends her whole life searching
For the man who can touch her heart
But the lover that she's with ain't working
I hate to see her cry, why can't she realize?
She deserves a better situation
Than a fist and a kiss goodnight
I wish she'd take another's invitation
To see that real love is more than being tough
Sister (sister), don't be afraid to let him go
You've got to love yourself
If you want somebody else to love you
You got to love yourself
You've got to reach inside
If you're ever gonna find someone to love you
You got to love yourself
I don't wanna preach the Bible
I just wanna reach the truth
A lover man shouldn't be your rival
Only to raise a hand, never to understand
There's a voice inside every person
That can speak when the heart is numb
You've got to scream before the body worsens
We're just a step away from being free of pain
Sister, don't be afraid to let him go
You've got to love yourself (love yourself)
If you want somebody else
(Want someone to) to love you
(To love you) you got to love yourself
I say, you've got to reach inside
If you're ever gonna find someone to love you
You got to love yourself (you got to love yourself, baby)
You've got to love yourself
If you want somebody else
To love you (to love you, to love you)
You got to love yourself (got to love yourself, baby)
You've got to reach inside (you've got to reach inside)
If you're ever gonna find (you're ever gonna find)
Someone to love you
You got to love yourself (you got to love yourself)
You got to love yourself (love yourself)
To love yourself (yeah)
You got to love yourself (to love yourself)
You got to love yourself (you got to reach inside)
You got to love yourself (if you're ever gonna find)
Someone to love you
Someone to love you
Oh, my sister, don't be afraid, just let him go
You've got to love yourself
If you want somebody else (someone) to love you (to love you)
You got to love yourself (you got to, you got to love yourself)
You've got to reach inside (you got to reach inside)
If you're ever gonna find
Someone to love you (if you're ever gonna find someone)
You got to love yourself (you got to love yourself, baby)
You've got to love yourself
If you want somebody else (someone)
To love you (to want to hug you up)
You got to love yourself (to want to squeeze you up, love you up, who want to love you up)
You've got to reach inside (see, you'll have to want to have somebody)
If you're ever gonna find (you'll have to want to have somebody)
Someone to love you (to love you)
You got to love yourself
You've got to love yourself
If you want somebody else
To love you
You got to love yourself
