take a look inside

(Yeah, yeah)
Why are you
So damn used to
Mistreatment by the ones who supposedly love you?
Why are you
So damn used to
Being let down?
Girl please don't you get it confused
(Get it, get it)
Confused (Get it, get it)
They don't really care about you (You, you)
You (You, you)
They go twistin' your words to cut through to you
Don't be their fool
You shouldn't be forced to feel bullet proof (No)
I know your mama taught you better (Taught you better, yuh)
And no doubt she'll be there when your head hurts
But c'mon and just
Take a look inside, baby (Inside, baby)
Go and take some time now
Be secure with no one around
Take a look inside, baby (Inside, baby)
A woman should never feel incomplete by herself (No, never)
Take a look inside babe, it starts with a peek
See the strength in emotion
Let yourself breathe (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
(Yeah)
Why are you
So damn used to
Being second pick?
Girl, drop his ass and get some dick
Why are you
So damn used
Finding the guys who don't wanna comfort
You'll never be satisfied
If you never let your tears dry
None of these boys are worth your time
When you own your shit it feels right
And I know (I know)
You know what I say makes sense
Use your head (Your head)
A bad bitch don't seek permission, so
Take a look inside, baby (Inside, baby)
Go and take some time now
Be secure with no one around
Take a look inside, baby (Inside, baby)
A woman should never feel incomplete by herself (No, never)
Take a look inside babe, it starts with a peek
See the strength in emotion
Let yourself breathe (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
Yeah
Breathe (Just, just, just)
Breathe (Just, just, just)
Breathe (Just, just, just)
Breathe
It's hard to see how there's power in the now
So, just take a look inside
I promise you will be alright
