Be My Own is about the fact that loving others shouldn’t be above loving yourself. You should be the person you receive the most love from.
A-ha, A-ha
A-ha, A-ha
A-ha, A-ha
A-ha, A-ha
Waking up beside you
Is nothing but my pillow in my dreams
Letting you come over
Is nothing but my own fantasy
Cause there’s no one that’s called ‘you’
There’s no one, it’s always been me
And yes, I’ve heard so many times
That I’ll get hurt if I don’t get myself
On the market (of being alone)
I’ve known for quite a while now that maybe I should try
But at the same time, I don’t want to listen to
‘You better behave yourself’
I always heard with
‘You better control yourself’
‘You’ll never get a boyfriend’
Being or feeling loved is oh so different
Well then I guess there’s one option left
Be my own boyfriend
Cause there’s no one in the end
Who can love me as much as I love myself
I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
Yeah, I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
I kept searching for everything
Turns out I’m already deep within
Yeah I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
Men, oh men, I think I’m better of without them
And then, women are way too complicated
Time will show the way I’m supposed to go
But sometimes I still wonder if I should just listen to
‘You better behave yourself’
I always heard with
‘You better control yourself’
‘You’ll never get a boyfriend’
Being or feeling loved is oh so different
Well then I guess there’s one option left
Be my own boyfriend
Cause there’s no one in the end
Who can love me as much as I love myself
I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
Yeah I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
I kept searching for everything
Turns out I’m already deep within
I kept searching, but I couldn’t find
I’ll tell you keep going till you find the light
I’ma keep fighting, I’ma need no one else
I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
I’ma, I’ma be, I’ma be my own woman
