1
For all the times that you ran on my parade
2
And all the clubs you get in using my name You think you broke my heart,
3
oh girl, for goodness sake You think I'm crying on my own while I ain't
4
And I didn't wanna write a song
5
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care or don't But you still hit my phone up
6
And baby I'll be moving on
7
And I think it should be something I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know that
8
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone And I never like to admit that I was wrong
9
And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on but now I know
10
I'm better sleeping on my own Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby,
11
you should go and love yourself
12
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself
13
When you told me that you hated my friends The only problem was with you and not them
14
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
15
It tried to make me forget where I came from And I didn't wanna write a song
16
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care or don't But you still hit my phone up
17
And baby I'll be moving on
18
And I think it should be something I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know that
19
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone And I never like to admit that I was wrong
20
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on But now I know,
21
I better sleep in on my own Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby,
22
you should go and love yourself
23
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself
24
For all the times that you made me feel small I fell in love,
25
now I feel nothing at all I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
26
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
27
Cause if you like the way you look
28
that much Oh baby you should go and love yourself And
29
if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself
30
Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby you should go and love yourself
31
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
