I want everybody to get up off your seat
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
