How do you expect someone to respect you
If 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 this
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 this
Stand up tall and let 'em know
Nobody else will if we don't
Put ladies first (oh, oh)
Ladies first (oh, oh)
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 this
Stand up tall and let 'em know
Nobody else will if we don't
Put ladies first (oh, oh)
Ladies first (oh, oh)
