lyrics

A DAILY AFFIRMATION

You got to love yourself
In the morning
When you wake up
And you drain the black tar out of your heart
You got to love yourself
In your gorilla suit
In your bathroom mirror
When you’re confronted by the ape that you really are
You got to love yourself
Anyway you can

You got to love yourself
With your tiny dick
And your fat ass tits
And the hair on your head that just won’t stay
You got to love yourself
Like an ugly child
Like a crippled dog
Like a fat fuckin’ baby crying all damn day
You got to love yourself
Any way you can

You got to love yourself
When your daddy dies
And your wife walks out
And your kitty cat cries and cries ‘cuz she went away
You got to you love yourself
When you hate yourself
When you berate yourself
My man, listen up, there ain’t no other way
You gotta love yourself
Any way you can
