You can't be a lover until you love yourself
You can't be a friend until you love somebody else
Nobody knows why you're on the shelf
But I know you know yourself
You'll never be happy until you crack a smile
You'll never have money until you go that extra mile
Nobody knows why you're never around
I know you know the town
I find it kind of funny that you dress yourself like this
I know you need it, honey, so I go in for a kiss
But of all the lonely people with their hearts still aching from their miss
You had to pick a sucker that would give it all and give it a twist
You can't be a lover until you love yourself
You can't be a friend until you love somebody else
Nobody knows why you're on the shelf
But I know you know yourself
I find it kind of funny that you dress yourself like this
I know you need it, honey, so I go in for a kiss
But of all the lovely people with their hearts aching from their miss
You had to pick a sucker that would give it all and give it a twist
You can't be a lover until you love yourself
You can't be a friend until you love somebody else
Nobody knows why you're on the shelf
But I know you know yourself
I know you know yourself
I know you know yourself
