Ladies First

How do you expect someone to respect you
When you don't respect yourself?
Why are you saying those things in the mirror
You'd never say to someone else

What if we loved our bodies, like they were our God-given home
You're waiting for someone to open the door
Go kick it down on your own

Ladies first
Despite what you heard
You ain't nobody's second verse
You're the lighter to your fire
Go get what you deserve
'Cause you deserve it
You earned it
Stand up tall and let 'em know
Nobody else will if we don't
Put ladies first

I think we forgot we're all climbing up
And the top ain't a table for one
It's a party together, stronger and better
We ain't gotta do it alone

Ladies first
Despite what you heard
You ain't nobody's second verse
You're the lighter to your fire
Go get what you deserve
'Cause you deserve it
You earned it
Stand up tall and let 'em know
Nobody else will if we don't
Put ladies first

Ladies first

It ain't selfish to love yourself
It's one thing we could all use a little more help with

Ladies first
Despite what you heard
You ain't nobody's second verse
You're the lighter to your fire
Go get what you deserve
'Cause you deserve it
You earned it
Stand up tall and let 'em know
Nobody else will if we don't
Put ladies first

Ladies first

How do you expect
Someone to respect you
When you don't respect yourself
