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

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
To know I'm beautiful
