Love Yourself
Yo Preston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For all the times that you rained on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart
Oh girl, for goodness sake
You think I'm crying
Oh my oh, well I ain't

Well I didn't wanna write a song
'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care, I don't
But, you still hit my phone up
Now baby I been moving on
And I think it should be somethin'
I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she like's everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I've been so caught up in my job
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know
I'm better sleeping on my own

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh maybe you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

All the times that you had to check my phone
The failed attempts to quit that shit that you smoke
Always stumbling in with makeup on your shirt
You think I don't know that you still talk to her
And you told me you were movin on
You just don't want anyone thinking you still care but
Ypu still keep them screenshots
And I guess she just loved you more

All your boys told me how you wanted something real but I guess I wasn't good enough
My daddy gon' kill you when he hears this song
He knows that you lied to me, he's glad to see you gone
You're just so messed up in your mind, you cannot see what's inside mine
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own
No I don't like, the way, you played me out
Maybe you can go and fuck yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin on to something

Baby you can go and fuck yourself
Hmmm hmn hmn hmmmn hmnn
For all the times that you made me feel small
I fell in love now I fear nothin' at all

I never felt so low and I was vulnerable
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
Cause if you like the way you look that much
Then maybe you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself




And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yo Preston's song Love Yourself vs Fuck Yourself are about a relationship that has ended, but one person is still holding on to the past while the other has moved on. The first verse is about the girl who broke his heart, and how she thinks he is still crying about it, but he has moved on and is better off without her. He didn't want to write a song about her because he didn't want to show that he still cares, but yet she keeps contacting him. The second verse is about the guy, who is bitter about the way the girl treated him, and he tells her to go and "F" herself. He is tired of her lies and her attempts to keep him hanging on, and he is better off without her.


The chorus of the song is about self-love and moving on from a toxic relationship. The message is clear that if you like the way you look that much, then maybe you should focus on yourself and learn to love yourself. If you think that the other person is still holding on to something, then it's time to move on and focus on yourself. The lyrics are deep and profound and touch on themes of self-love, healing, and growth after a relationship has ended.

[Verse1: Yo]
For all the times that you rain on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart
Ohhh girl for goodness sake
You think I'm crying
Oh my ohhh, well I ain't!

And I didn't wanna write a song
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care, I don't
But, you still hit my phone up
And baby I be moving on

And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she like's everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job
Didn't see what's going on
But now I know
I'm better sleeping on my own

[Chorus: Yo]
Cause if you like the way you look that much
Ohhhh baby you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

All the times that you had to check my phone
The failed attempts to quit that sh** that you smoke


Always stumbling in with makeup on your shirt

And you told me you were movin on
You just don't want anyone thinking you still care but you still keep them screenshots
And I guess you just loved you more
All your boys told me how you wanted something real but I guess I wasn't good enough

My daddy gon' k** you when he hears this song
He knows that you lied to me, he's glad to see you gone
You're just so messed up in your mind, you cannot see what's inside mine
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own
No I don't like, the way, you played me out
Maybe you can go and f** yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin on to something
Baby you can go and f** yourself
