(Oh)
They say you gotta learn to love yourself
Before you can love anyone else
But the second that you put yourself first
Everybody thinks youโ€™re the worst
But I ainโ€™t gotta feel guilty
For doing whatโ€™s best for me
I know I am a masterpiece
I could bring the world to its knees
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I wanna see you get a little selfish
Do what you want, yeah, you know that you deserve it
Rock that body โ€˜cause you know that you own it
(I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I wanna see you get a little selfish
Do what you want, yeah, you know that you deserve it
Rock that body โ€˜cause you know that you own it
(I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
Hands to yourself
You donโ€™t need no help
Hands to yourself
You do it better than anyone else
Selfishly, I donโ€™t care
Whatโ€™s mine is mine, I donโ€™t have to share
And I donโ€™t wanna hear you say itโ€™s unfair
Giving love to myself so thereโ€™s none to spare
Please donโ€™t compete where you canโ€™t compare
Iโ€™m selfish and Iโ€™m self aware
I know my limits so they donโ€™t even dare go there
When I walk by, haters canโ€™t help but stare
Yeah, I see you staring, baby
Jealous?
Haha
Ah
I wanna see you get a little selfish
Do what you want, yeah, you know that you deserve it
Rock that body โ€˜cause you know that you own it
(I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I wanna see you get a little selfish
Do what you want, yeah, you know that you deserve it
Rock that body โ€˜cause you know that you own it
