I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know
I want to be able as days go by,
Always to look myslef straight in the eye,
I don't want to stand with the setting sun,
And hate myself for things I've done,
I don't want to go on a closet shelf alot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go
into thinkin' that nobody else will know,
the kind of woman I really am;
I don't want to dress myself up in shame.
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve all man's respect.
And here in the struggle of fame and wealth,
I want to be able to LOVE MYSELF
I don't want to look at myself and know,
That I am a blunder an empty show,
I can never hid myself from me;
I see what others may never see,
I know what others will never know,
I never can fool myself and so,
Whatever happens I want to be self-respecting and guilt-free
