You Can Love Yourself Lyrics - Just Like You - Keb Mo

My baby she wrote me a letter 

She didn't call me on the phone 

Five little words was all she wrote 

See ya later I'm gone 

She had no explanation 

About why she had to go 

Well I can't take a joke 

But I can take a hint 

She don't love me no more 

But if nobody loves you 

And you feel like dust 

On an empty shelve 

Just remember 

You can love yourself 

My mother says 

She loves me 

But you know 

She could be jivin' too 

And everybody's always criticizing 

Everything that I do 

I work 9 to 5, do the best I can 

Try to please the boss 

I bought a big ol' house 

And a brand new car 

And then he laid me off 

But if nobody loves you 

And you feel like dust 

On an empty shelve 

Just remember 

You can love yourself 

Every time I meet a lady 

I wanna try to get to know 

Either I'm too small 

Or she's too tall 

She's rich and I'm po' 

So I called my old friend 

Hazel Mae 

Asked her out for a little date 

She said "I'm married now 

And I got three little kids 

Boy ya just a little too late" 

But if nobody loves you 

And you feel like dust 

On an empty shelve 

Just remember 

You can love yourself 

But if nobody loves you 

And you feel like dust 

On an empty shelve 

Just remember 

You can love yourself
