[Verse 1] Spent the year tryin' to get you to love me (Get you to love me) Put your needs high up above me All night talkin' on the telephone Listenin' to you cryin' 'bout being alone (Ooh) Spent the summer tryin' to get you to care (Get you to care) Bought new jeans and grew my hair (Ooh, ooh) Called me up when you wanted me around (Ooh, ooh) But when I needed you, you could never be found
[Chorus] So this year's gonna be about me Nevеr will I have another reason to doubt mе This year, this year (Ooh-ooh, ooh) This year's gonna be about me Never will I have another reason to doubt me This year, this year (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2] Spent the year tryin' to get your attention All my miles just to make a connection Runnin' around just to get to you When I showed up, you had something to do (Oh, oh-oh, oh) Met your mama and all your friends Didn't know it was all pretend Lifted you up, you were bringing me down But this year's gonna turn them tables around
[Chorus] So this year's gonna be about me Never will I have another reason to doubt me This year, this year (Ooh-ooh, ooh) This year's gonna be about me Never will I have another reason to doubt me This year, this year (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Post-Chorus] (I'm loving, I'm feeling myself) Ooh, ooh-ooh (Not worried 'bout anyone else) (My mind, my body, my health) (This year, this year) (I'm turning it all around, nobody gon' bring me down) Ooh, ooh-ooh (My vision, my mind, my crown) (This year, this year)
[Bridge] I'm taking what's mine, I'm putting it on the line This year Not gonna waste no more time, I'm coming to claim my shine This year I threw away all your shit, I'm ready to get my fix This year This year's gonna hit my stride, I'm living it, my best life This year
[Chorus] This year's gonna be about me Never will I have another reason to doubt me This year, this year This year's gonna be about me Never will I have another reason to doubt me This year, this year
[Post-Chorus] (I'm loving, I'm feeling myself) Ooh, ooh-ooh (Not worried 'bout anyone else) Ooh, ooh-ooh (My mind, my body, my health) (This year, this year) Uh (I'm turning it all around, nobody gon' bring me down) Ooh, ooh-ooh (My vision, my mind, my crown) Ooh, ooh (This year, this year)
