[English]

And you know who I wanna thank?

I wanna thank me

For believing in me

And doing what they said I could not do (uh-huh)

I make me feel some type of way (uh-huh)

I give myself a double take (uh-huh)

I'ma act like the whole damn world's my stage (keep clappin', keep, keep clappin')

(Go on, girl)

And ain't no man will ever stop her (uh-huh)

She never reads the teleprompter (uh-huh)

I'ma say what I always wanted to say

Yeah, I gotta say

I wanna thank me for lookin' like this

For workin' my ass off, can't do it like me, y'all wish

I wanna thank me and kiss myself

I wanna thank me right now and nobody else

I wanna thank me (uh-huh)

I said I'm talkin' 'bout that one of one (uh-huh)

Doin' what they say can't be done (uh-huh)

I ain't hatin' on myself no more, that's dumb (can't happen, hey, no, it can't happen)

And so I'd like to take a second to remind me I'm sexy

Gotta be my own bestie when the world tries to test me (uh-huh)

Yes, there's so many I'd like to thank along the way, but I gotta say

I wanna thank me (hey) for lookin' like this (lookin' like this)

For workin' my ass off, can't do it like me, y'all wish

Yeah, I wanna thank me and kiss myself (oh)

I wanna thank me right now and nobody else (no, nobody else)

I wanna thank me (hey, I wanna thank me, oh) for lookin' like this (for lookin' like this)

For workin' my ass off, you can't do it like me, y'all wish (do it like me, y'all wish)

I wanna thank me (mwah) and kiss myself (kiss myself)

I wanna thank me right now and nobody else (I, I, I)

And so I'd like to take a second to remind me I'm sexy

Gotta be my own bestie when the world tries to test me (ooh, mwah)

Yeah, I gotta say

So I wanna thank me (I wanna thank me) for lookin' like this (for lookin' like this)

For workin' my ass off, can't do it like me, y'all wish (do it like me, y'all wish)

I wanna thank me (hey, mwah) and kiss myself (and kiss myself)

I wanna thank me right now and nobody else (I wanna thank me)
