lyrics

i love myself
it may sound a bit egoistic to say, but
i love myself
some folks may disagree, i don't care, cause
i love myself

from the east to the west
from the south to the north
from my mind to my soul
i love it all

i love myself
every morning in front of the mirror i say
oh, how i love myself
such miraculous way for starting a day
how, i love myself

from my head to my toes
from my skin to my bones
from my spirit, my core
i love it all

it doesn't matter if you're black or white
no, it doesn't matter if you're green or ripe
oh, no, it doesn't matter what your mother tongue's
as long as you keep loving yourself
the whole world will rejoice in love

so, i love myself
it's important to do so
because otherwise i couldn't love no, nobody else
so i just do what my heart tells me to and
i love myself

from the left to the right
from deep down high above
all the darkness and light
i love it all

it doesn't matter if you're black or white
no, it doesn't matter if you're green or ripe
oh, no, it doesn't matter what your mother tongue’s
as long as you keep loving yourself
the whole world will rejoice in love

so, listen all the people, love yourselves,
some folks will disagree
please don't care
keep loving yourselves
and soon you will notice that everyone else
starts to love themselves

from east to the west
from the south to the north
all the right, all the wrong
lets love it all
