I Don't Need You To

Written: Dianne Warren I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty To make me feel beautiful I don't need you to give me your strength To make me feel I'm strong I've got all of the strength that I need Here inside my own two hands All that I want is your love and respect For who I am What I really need comes from deep inside of me Chorus: Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty To make me feel beautiful, no Don't need you to make me strong 'Coz I'm strong all on my own Doesn't come from outside This beauty, I know, comes from inside my soul I don't need you to believe in me To make me know I'm worth believing in I don't need you to lift me up high To know I can stand tall I can stand my own ground I can stand proud upon my own two feet Don't have to be part of somebody else to be complete What I really need comes from deep inside of me Chorus Don't need to come to you for confirmation Because I've finally come to this revelation What I really need I'm gonna find inside of me Not in somebody else Respect comes when you respect yourself I don't need you to Chorus Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty To make me feel beautiful, no Don't need you to lift me up I can stand up on my own Doesn't come from outside This beauty, I know, comes from inside my soul Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
