i don't need you to lyrics

Written: Dianne Warren

I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
To make me feel beautiful
I don't need you to give me your strength
To make me feel I'm strong
I've got all of the strength that I need
Here inside my own two hands
All that I want is your love and respect
For who I am
What I really need comes from deep inside of me

Chorus:
Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
To make me feel beautiful, no
Don't need you to make me strong
'Coz I'm strong all on my own
Doesn't come from outside
This beauty, I know, comes from inside my soul

I don't need you to believe in me
To make me know I'm worth believing in
I don't need you to lift me up high
To know I can stand tall
I can stand my own ground
I can stand proud upon my own two feet
Don't have to be part of somebody else to be complete
What I really need comes from deep inside of me

Chorus

Don't need to come to you for confirmation
Because I've finally come to this revelation
What I really need I'm gonna find inside of me
Not in somebody else
Respect comes when you respect yourself

I don't need you to
Chorus

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
To make me feel beautiful, no
Don't need you to lift me up
I can stand up on my own
Doesn't come from outside
This beauty, I know, comes from inside my soul

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
