Love Yourself, Baby

In the darkest part of the night

Or basking in dawn's faintest hue

Whenever I find myself all alone....

There is something I like to do.

It's a thing we never speak of,

Though a past time we all enjoy

No restrictions, everyone is able -

Young or old, girl or boy.

In church I learned it was bad,

Indulging this immorality.

How is it wrong when it feels so right?

When I please myself so fantastically?

No one knows my body like me

No one could love me better

I know the secret buttons to push

I know how to get myself wetter.

When I don't want to shave my legs

When I haven't put on make up

I never have to wine and dine myself

I never have to worry about a break up

Be careful you aren't discovered

In such a compromising position

They've killed the moment & your mood

With their untimely imposition.

Totally normal, no need for shame.

The human body is grand.

Self love is a fantastic tribute

Go on, give yourself a hand!
