I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah 

I tried to call my mother, but 
She didn't get where I was going 
I called my boyfriend and he said 
Call me back a little later baby 
I hung up the phone, I felt so alone 
Started to feel a little pity 
That's when I realized that I 
Gotta find the joy inside of me 

I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah 

I'm gonna take off all my clothes 
Look at myself in the mirror 
We're gonna have a conversation 
We're gonna heal the disconnection 
I don't remember when it started 
But this is where it's gonna end 
My body is beautiful and sacred 
And I'm gonna celebrate it 

I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah  

All my life (all my life) 
I've been looking for (I've been looking for) 
Somebody else (else) 
To make me whole (ooo) 
But I had to learn the hard way (ooo) 
True love began with me (ooo) 
This is not ego or vanity (ooo) 
I'm just celebrating me 

I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah  

Sometimes I'm alone but never lonely 
That's what I've come to realize 
I've learned to love the quiet moments 
The Sunday mornings of life 
Where I can reach deep down inside 
Or out into the universe 
I can laugh until I cry 
Or I can cry away the hurt 

I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah  

Happy birthday to me 
Happy birthday to me 
Happy birthday 
Happy birthday to me 
Happy birthday to me 
Happy birthday 

I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah 

I'm having a private party 
Ain't no body here but me, my angels, and my guitar 
singin' baby look how far we've come here 
I'm havin' a private party 
Learning how to love me 
Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah
