Compassion will make you beautiful
And love will set you free
Resentment will give you wrinkles
And hatred makes you ugly
What you think is what you feel
And what you feel is who you are
Who you are is up to you
No one else, so choose to start
Start lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Today
Start bein' you, bein' you, bein' you
It's okay
You're one of a kind
So, don't pay any mind to what they're gonna say
Love yourself today
They're just jealous anyway
You've got all this great shit goin'
And you're doin' your best to change
Into a better person
Than the one you were yesterday
It's okay to be a work in progress
And it's okay to press restart
It's okay to wanna refresh
We just gotta choose to start
Start lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Today
Start bein' you, bein' you, bein' you
It's okay
Start livin' your life
Don't waste a second of time
On anyone who doesn't say
It's okay
To love yourself today
Today
I've gotta pounding throb goin' on in my head
Today
I don't wanna get dressed brush, my teeth, or get out of bed
How the hell do I tell myself that I love myself
God, I need help, please
Say it with me
Start lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Today
Start bein' you, bein' you, bein' you
It's okay
You're one of a kind
So, don't pay any mind to what they're gonna say
It's okay
To love yourself today
I'm lovin' me, lovin' me, lovin' me
Today
I'm bein' me, bein' me, bein' me
And I'm okay
From now on, I'll only be
The shining light inside of me
Can't wait to see how great I'll be someday
I choose to love myself today
