I Thank You

I want everybody to get up off your seat
And get your arms together, and your hands together
And 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 somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You make 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 it
Like you did
But you did
But you did
And I thank you

All my life I've been shortchained
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 got to say: thank you)
Got to say

You didn't have to love me
Like you did
But you did
But you did, love
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)
Thank you, baby (Oh)
Oh, thank you
Oh, baby
Thank you
