Miss Myself

Used to color on the walls
Imagine I'm ten feet tall
I'd do a little dance in pajama pants
Running down the halls
Then I had to grow up
No more messing up
I heard you gotta fit in
you gotta blend in of you wanna be happy
So I played a part like a perfect doll
'Til I finally looked in the mirror
That's when I started to miss myself
Started to tell myself
You don't need nobody else
Don't need nothin' but me
That's when I started to love myself
To take better care of myself
I don't need nobody else
Don't need nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Don't need nothin' but me
Had to make myself small
So I could fit the mold
I played by the book of a million rules to please them all
Had to get it wrong
To grow strong
To face living in a world where everybody's the same
Smiling faces to hide the shame
So if you miss yourself too
I'm singing this song to you
That's when I started to miss myself
Started to tell myself
You don't need nobody else
Don't need nothin' but me
That's when I started to love myself
To take better care of myself
See, I don't need nobody else
Don't need nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Don't need nothin' but me
What makes you different makes you special, you see
So I won't let it go to waste
Not everybody has to understand me
For me to stop playing pretend
That's when I started to miss myself
I started to tell myself
You don't need nobody else
Don't need nothin' but me
That's when I started to love myself
To take better care of myself
I don't need nobody else
Don't need nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Nothin' but me
Don't need nothin' but
