For all the times that you rain on my parade And all the clubs you get in using my name

You think you broke my heart, oh girl, for goodness sake You think I'm crying on my own

while I ain't

And I didn't wanna write a song Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

or don't But you still hit my phone up And baby, I'll be moving on

And I think it should be something I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know

that My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

And I never like to admit that I was wrong

And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on

But now I know I'm better sleeping on my own Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby,

you should go and love yourself

And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself

When you told me that you hated my friends The only problem was with you and not them

And every time you told me my opinion was wrong They tried to make me forget where I came from

And I didn't wanna write a song Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

or don't But you still hit my phone up

And baby I'll be moving on

And I think it should be something I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know

that My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

And I never like to admit that I was wrong

And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on But now I know

I'm better sleeping on my own Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby,

you should go and love yourself

And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself

For all the times that you made me feel small I fell in love,

now I feel nothing at all I never felt so low when I was vulnerable

Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby, you should go and love yourself

And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself

Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby, you should go and love yourself

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.
