Lyrics This Year by Emily King

[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)
