You Can Love Yourself (Album Version) - Keb' Mo'

作词：Kevin Moore

作曲：Kevin Moore

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

But if nobody loves you

And you feel like dust

On an empty shelve

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

Everything 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

But if nobody loves you

And you feel like dust

On an empty shelve

Just remember

You can love yourself

Every time 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

But if nobody loves you

And you feel like dust

On an empty shelve

Just remember

You can love yourself

And you know

But if nobody loves you

And you feel like dust

On an empty shelve

Just remember

You can love yourself

You can love yourself
