Well I've been everywhere
And I've done everything
That time allows me to do
But try as I can
Won't make me more of a man
If I can't relate to you

I've flown to the heights
I've felt the heat of the lights
I've been down and out as well
I thought you'd understand
I held the world in my hand
I was riding high until I fell

Before you think of others
Maybe even before your lovers
They could all be your brothers
It's inside yourself to feel enough

Keep on loving yourself
You gotta show a little self respect
Keep on loving yourself
Take some time to reflect
Keep on loving yourself
And don't say I don't give a damn
Keep on loving yourself
It's the way that I am

Get into the action
It's a chain reaction
It all comes from yourself
It's inside of you
There's something you can do
So don't deny your help

When I look in your face
I see the whole human race
All going for the one
But I've been there before
Just makes me even more sure
That they're just staring at the sun
