Lyrics
Stanza one- I got to work hard & do my chores, so much to do; but realize that when you do, save attention for yourself. It's not too much, yes it's OK to see about my needs. Take some time to love on me, that's my new decree.
Chorus- Take some to love on me, I see value in myself; no need to have approval, look in the mirror & do my best. Yes dark days will come & winds may blow, my mission more & more, gotta take time, time to love me.
Stanza two- It's not a crime to love & help, love can be shared; the problem's when you give to all & have none for yourself. It's not too much, yes it's OK to see about my needs. Take some time to love on me, that's my new decree.
