Love Yourself First

(November 14, 2006)

Ron Flatow
Calling to you from out of time
Just wanted to say
So sorry for the younger days
All of the mistreatments

Things I did without disgrace
Knowing now I was so wrong
Learning to understand many mistakes
A beating heart without trust

Before insecurities rap around tight
Become friends with yourself
Love yourself first

Before a first impression shows your epic life
Become friends with yourself
Love yourself first

Before confidence disappears into a shadowy night
Become friends with yourself
Love yourself first

Tenderly your heart to me
Carelessly I set you free
Anger and guilt followed me
My heart has been swimming frantically

When love comes to stay
Just like a tool it too has a rule
Before dreams slip away
So many times asking why

Before insecurities rap around tight
Become friends with yourself
Love yourself first

Before a first impression shows your epic life
Become friends with yourself
Love yourself first

Before confidence disappears into a shadowy night
Become friends with yourself
Love yourself first
Love yourself
Love yourself
Love yourself first
