| I know why | |
| The caged bird sings | |
| I know, what it means | |
| Wanting to be free | |
| Wanting to be healed | |
| Wanting to be whole | |
| Wanting to be me | |
| I remember | |
| What my mother said | |
| Who will love someone like you | |
| On the Tv news, always looking loose, always semi-nude | |
| What man could make a home of you | |
| If I made her right | |
| I couldn’t make it | |
| Living in a nightmare | |
| So I gave it up | |
| I love myself | |
| There’s nobody who’s bringing me down | |
| I love myself | |
| There’s just me and myself and I | |
| Revolution | |
| I became my own friend | |
| You can’t tell me nothing | |
| I am through with sufferin’ | |
| Always feelin blue | |
| Always so confused | |
| Always feeling used | |
| Nothing ever good | |
| Never in the mood | |
| No! | |
| I bless these hands | |
| My mighty hands | |
| That pulled me | |
| And lifted me out | |
| Of self doubt | |
| And self hate | |
| And made it safe | |
| Really safe | |
| To be myself | |
| If I made her right | |
| I couldn’t make it | |
| Living in a nightmare | |
| So I gave it up | |
| I love myself | |
| There’s nobody who’s bringing me down | |
| I love myself | |
| There’s just me and myself and I | |
| I love myself | |
| You can tell me nothing | |
| Tell me nothing |
