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, yeah
And I thank you

If you took your love to someone else
I'd know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I'd gotta holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me like you did but you did, but you did, yeah
And I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did but you did, but you did
And I thank you

Now every day was something new
You put your make-up and your fine perfume
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, yeah
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 shortchanged
Without your love, it'll be the crying shame
But now I know what the fellas talking about
When they say they been turned out
I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you baby, thank you, thank you
I gotta say

Solo

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, yeah
And I thank you
I wanna thank you, baby, I wanna thank you
Let me count the ways
Let me thank you, baby, baby
I got something to say, Thank you baby
Let me count the ways for the whole wide world to hear, oh yeah
Now thank you for paying for my cold beer
Thank you for being here with me baby
Thank you for understanding why's I was out late last night
Thank you for giving me your best friend's phone number
Thank you for understanding that me and your sister are just good friends
Now thank you baby
