Babygirl Lyrics

[Chorus]
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yours— (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself

[Verse 1]
Baby girl, don't give up yet
Practice patience, hold your breath
One day, you'll be so in love (So in love)
This is not your curtain call (Curtain call)

One day, you gon' have it all (Have it all)
I said, one day, you gon' have it all

[Pre-Chorus]
As soon as you love yourself (Love yourself)
You'll never know what an angel you are
Stop breaking your heart
As soon as you love yourself (Love yourself)
You gotta try before anyone can
You'll understand as soon as you

[Chorus]
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself
[Verse 2]
Baby girl, I know it's hard
Trying to quiet all your thoughts
One day, they'll leave you alone (You alone)
You'll feel better when you're grown (When you're grown)
One day, you gon' take your throne (Take your throne)
Baby, go ahead and take your throne

[Pre-Chorus]
As soon as you love yourself (Love yourself)
You'll never know what an angel you are
Stop breaking your heart
As soon as you love yourself (Love yourself)
You gotta try before anyone can
You'll understand as soon as you

[Chorus]
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself

[Outro]
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself (Ooh)
Love yourself, oh, love yourself

What did Meghan Trainor say about "Babygirl"?
Genius Answer

I always take my personal things and try to connect it with a stranger across the world. As a songwriter I think that’s so cool. It’s a superpower. It’s awesome. So yeah, I do that, but a lot of this is… like, “Babygirl” [a song on Treat Myself] is just, that one’s just all my insecurities put into a song. I try to hit everything I feel insecure about. Like, me as an artist, or my voice, or my outfits, or my looks. Anything. And like, will I ever find love? It was like, any of those moments in my life, I tried to put that in a three-minute song. And that was very difficult to do. And when we finally figured it out, I was like, “‘Babygirl’ is the song I’ve always wanted since I was like 8 years old to hear.” And I finally unlocked the code and figured it out. So that one’s very special to me."
