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 love me like you did   But you did, but you did.   And I thank you.   But you took your love to someone 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 it but you did   But you did but you did   And I thank you.   You didn't have to hold it but you did   But you did but you did   And I thank you.      Every day was something new,   You put on 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 it but 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   But now I know what the fellas talking about   Hear me say that they been turned out   I want to thank you   I want to thank you   I want to thank you   Yes, I want to thank you
