I'll have to learn to love myself
Baby, it looks like
I'm the only one for me
[Verse 3]
Holding hands, starlit walks
Makin' plans, silly talks
They're nothin' more than grade school prophecy
Finally figured out beyond a shadow of a doubt

I'm the only one for me
I can tell that it looks like
I'm the only one for me
