Love Yourself
Justin Bieber · 2015
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- You should go and love yourself
- But when you told me that you hated my friends
- The only problem was with you and not them
- And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
Echo the hook
- And I didn't wanna write a song
- 'Cause I didn't want anyone thinkin' I still care, I don't, but
- You still hit my phone up
- And baby, I'll be movin' on
