I want everybody to get up off your seat
And get your arms together, and your hands together
Give me some of that 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 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
Every day was something new
You pull out your bag, and you're 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 me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you
All my life I've been short chain
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, uh
(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)
Thank you (oh baby)
Thank, I've got, I've got to thank you, baby (thank you, baby)
Oh, baby (thank you, baby)
Ooh, thank you (ooh, thank you)
Oh, baby
You (thank you, thank you, oh, thank you)
