Artist: Samantha Mumba
LP/CD: Gotta Tell You ~~ A&M ~~ 2001
Composer: Diane Warren

Mmm, hmm

I don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty
To make me feel beautiful
I don’t need you to give me your strength
To make me feel I’m strong

I’ve got all of the strength that I need here inside my own two hands
All that I want is your love and respect for who I am
What I really need
Comes from deep inside of me

Don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty
To make me feel beautiful, no
Don’t need you to make me strong
‘Cause I’m strong all on my own
Doesn’t come from outside
This beauty, I know
Comes from inside my soul

Don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty

I don’t need you to believe in me
To make me know I’m worth believin’ in
I don’t need you to lift me up high
To know I can stand tall, I can stand tall

I can stand my own ground, I can stand proud upon my own two feet
Don’t have to be part of somebody else to be complete
What I really need
Comes from deep inside of me

Don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty
To make me feel beautiful, no
Don’t need you to make me strong
‘Cause I’m strong all on my own
Doesn’t come from outside
This beauty, I know
Comes from inside my soul

Don’t need to come to you for
Confirmation
Because I finally found you
This revelation

What I really need (What I really need)
I find inside of me (Find inside of me)
Not in somebody else
Respect comes when you respect yourself

Don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty
To make me feel beautiful
Don’t need you to make me strong
‘Cause I’m strong all on my own
Doesn’t come from outside
This beauty, I know
Comes from inside my soul

Don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty
To make me feel beautiful
Don’t need you to make me strong
‘Cause I’m strong all on my own
Doesn’t come from outside
This beauty, I know
Comes from inside my soul

Don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty
To know I’m beautiful
