[Verse 1]
Used to color on the walls
Imagine I'm ten feet tall
I'd do a little dance in pajama pants
Running down the halls
Then I had to grow up
No more messing up
I heard you gotta fit in, you gotta blend in
If you wanna be happy
So I played a part like a perfect doll
'Til I finally looked in the mirror

[Chorus]
That's when I started to miss myself
Started to tell myself, "You don't need nobody else"
Don't need nothing but me
That's when I started to love myself
To take better care of myself
See, I don't need nobody else
Don't need nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Don't need nothing but me

[Verse 2]
Had to make myself small so I could fit the mold
I played by the by the book of a million rules to please them all
Had to get it wrong to grow strong
To face living in a world
Everybody's the same
Smiling faces to hide the same
So, if you miss yourself too
I'm singing this song to you
[Chorus]
That's when I started to miss myself
Started to tell myself, "You don't need nobody else"
Don't need nothing but me
That's when I started to love myself
To take better care of myself
See, I don't need nobody else
Don't need nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Don't need nothing but me

[Bridge]
What makes you different makes you special, you see
So I won't let it go to waste
Not everybody has to understand me
For me to stop playing pretend

[Chorus]
That's when I started to miss myself
Started to tell myself, "You don't need nobody else"
Don't need nothing but me
That's when I started to love myself
To take better care of myself
See, I don't need nobody else
Don't need nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Don't need nothing but me
[Outro]
Don't need nothing but
