My baby, she wrote me a letter
She didn′t call me on the phone
Five little words was all she wrote
She said, "See you later, I'm gone"
She had no explanation
About why she had to go
Well, I can′t take a joke, but I can take a hint
She don't love me no more
And if nobody loves you
And you're feeling like dust on an empty shelf
Just remember, you can love yourself
How we doin′ out there?
My mother says she loves me
But you know, she could be jivin′ too
Everybody's always criticizin′
Everything that I do
I work nine to five, do the best I can
I try to, try to please the boss
I bought a big old house and a brand new car
And I, and then he laid me off
Well, if nobody loves you
And you're feeling like dust on an empty shelf
Just remember, you can love yourself
Every time I meet a lady
I wanna try to get to know her
You know what I′m talkin' about
Either I′m too small or she's too tall
Or she's rich and I′m poor
So I called my old friend Hazel Mae
I asked, asked her out for a little date
She said, "I′m married now and I got three little kids
Boy, you're just a little too late"
Well, if nobody loves you
And you′re feeling like dust on an empty shelf
Just remember, you can love yourself
And if nobody loves you
And you're feeling like dust on an empty shelf
Just remember, you can love yourself
You can love yourself
Nice to meet me
