[Verse 1]
Don't believe what you hear
'Cause what you hear, baby
May bring a tear
Just beware of friendly advice
And try to live your own life
[Chorus]
You got to live for yourself, uh-huh, now
Yourself and nobody else, alright
[Verse 2]
I know that they tell you that I'm not true
And they would leave me if they were you
But listen, don't believe what they say
They're just tryin' to take your place
[Chorus]
You got to live for yourself, uh-huh
Yourself and nobody else, alright
[Verse 3]
Some women and men are like
They'll talk and talk, they'll give out advice
They'll make you think they're king on a throne
They say that I'm wrong, they know that I'm right, now
Your friends are tryin' to stand by your side
They'll bring you nothin' but misery and cry
[Bridge]
Listen, baby
This is all I got to tell you
One more time, listen to me
[Verse 4]
If you're happy, then be glad, baby
'Cause I know gossip will make you sad
You know it's plain to see
You must pour your own cup of tea
[Chorus]
But you got to live for yourself, now, honey
Live for yourself, yeah
Do what you wanna do, well, honey
You the one that's got to be satisfied
[Outro]
Do like you wanna, baby
Got to-got to tell y'all one more time
You got to live for yourself, now, baby
