BGTY Lyrics by Ledisi

Pieces of Me

2011

[Intro]
Be good to yourself

[Verse 1]
Sometimes we don't listen
To what we already know
Take time to hear me
'Cause you gotta be told
So busy looking for love
Like you don't know your worth
Get it together
Even when it hurts

[Chorus]
You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can't wait on nobody else
(No one else)
Baby, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can't love nobody
(Oh, you can't love nobody else)
Ooh, ooh-woo-woo

[Verse 2]
Some days you feel like running
From everyone you know
The things that you thought might be right now
It ain't necessarily so
So much on my mind
Need a break from it all
To get myself together
So I don't fall

[Chorus]
Gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can't wait on nobody else
(No one else)
Baby, you gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can't love
(Oh, you can't love nobody else)

[Bridge]
Oh, when you're traveling
Through the highs and the lows
Make sure you listen to your spirit
You gotta take care of your soul
Hold on, never give up
You can get through whatever
Always make time for yourself, woo

[Chorus]
You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can't wait on nobody else
(No one else)
Hey, oh, be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
Oh Lord, yeah, oh, you can't love nobody else
(Oh, you can't love nobody else)
Be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You keep looking for the love from somebody else
(No one else)
You gotta find it from within
Yeah, ooh, be good to yourself, hey
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can't love nobody
(Oh, you can't love nobody else)

[Outro]
Be good, be good to yourself
