I Thank You

(And get your arms together, and your hands together)
 (And give me some of that o-o-old soul clapping)
 You didn't have to love me like you did
 But you did, but you did
 And I thank you
 You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
 But you did, but you did
 And I thank you
 If you took your love to somewhere else
 I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
 You made me feel like I've never felt
 Kisses so good I had to holler for help
 You didn't have to squeeze me but you did
 But you did, but you did
 And I thank you
 You didn't have to hold me but you did
 But you did but you did
 And I thank you
 Every day was something new
 You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
 You got me trying new things too
 Just so I can keep up with you
 You didn't have to shake me like you did
 But you did but you did
 And I thank you
 You didn't have to make it like you did
 But you did but you did
 And I thank you
 All my life I've been shortchanged
 Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
 And now I know what the fellas are talking about
 When they say that they been turned out
 I want to thank you (thank you)
 Thank you (oh, baby)
 Thank you baby (yeah, yeah)
 Oh baby (I gotta be thanking)
 Got to say
 You didn't have to love me like you did
 But you did, but you did
 (And I thank you)
 You didn't have to hold me like you did
 But you did, but you did
 (And I thank you)
 Thank you (thank you, baby)
 Baby (Got to thank you)
 Baby (oh, baby)
 Thank! I've! Got! I've got to (thank you baby)
 Thank you baby (oh baby)
