I Wanna Thank Me Lyrics – Meghan Trainor

[Intro: Niecy Nash]
And you know who I wanna thank?
I wanna thank me
For believing in me
And doing what they said I could not do

[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor, Niecy Nash]
(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 clapping, keep, keep clapping)
(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

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor, Niecy Nash]
I wanna thank me
For looking like this
For working 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)

[Verse 2: Meghan Trainor]
(Uh-huh)
I say I’m talking ’bout that one of one (Uh-huh)
Doing what they say can’t be done (Uh-huh)
I ain’t hating 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 s*xy
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

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
I wanna thank me (Hey)
For looking like this (Looking like this)
For working 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 looking like this (For looking like this)
For working my ass off
You can’t do it like me, y’all wish (You can’t do it like me, I wish)
I wanna thank me (Mwah)
And kiss myself (Kiss myself)
I wanna thank me
Right now and nobody else (I, I, I)

[Bridge: Meghan Trainor]
And so I’d like to take a second to remind me I’m s*xy
Gotta be my own bestie when the world tries to test me (Ooh, mwah)
Yeah, I gotta say

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor, Niecy Nash]
So I wanna thank me (I wanna thank me)
For looking like this (For looking like this)
For working my ass off
Can’t do it like me, y’all wish (Do it like me, I wish)
I wanna thank me (Hey, mwah)
And kiss myself (Myself)
I wanna thank me
Right now and nobody else
(I wanna thank me)
