Girl Respect Yourself Lyrics – Chrisette Michele

Girl Respect Yourself Text

---

Say that I'm a queen, say that I'm lovely
Say I'm standing tall, I'm all that I can be
Say you're beautiful, if no one else will
&tell yourself until-you believe in you! Nothing wrong with smiles, hold your head up high
You can touch the sky, everyone can fly, hold your head up high
No bring you down, &keep your body clean
Queens are purity, lady be a queen

Girl, respect yourself
Girl respect yourself
Lady be a queen
Lady be a queen
(echo: lady be a queen)

I loved Mr. Man, &Mr. Man was lost
He didn't love my body, he didn't love my heart
I gave my everything, just to love a man
My love, my purity, just to find a friend
Never will I run, from my heart again
First show me the diamonds, then take off my jeans
Now I'm free again, standing on my own
Loving me again, freedom for my soul

Girl respect yourself
Girl respect yourself
Lady be a queen
Lady be a queen
(echo: lady be a queen)

I'm an heir to the don of the most high
You neglect me, you neglect what you live by
Lady pick your head up, don't let him disgrace you
Lady watch what he says, don't let him degrade you
&if his body's calling let him wait till you're ready save what you've earned until a diamond gets lucky
make sure you've got a man who knows a fortune like this
in a story living in your man can only be righteous
brothers call her queen &treat her like she's worth it
don't let words that mean queens don't deserve it
Imma stand tall like the heir I know I am
I'm only gonna win if I am right within
Lady be a queen

Girl respect yourself
Girl respect yourself
Lady be a queen
Lady be a queen
(Repeat 2x)
