Lyrics
[Intro]
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 clappin'
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Every day was something new
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me tryin' new things too
Just so I can keep up with you
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
All my life, I been short-changed
Without your love, baby, it's a cryin' shame
And now I know what the fellas are talkin' about
When they say that they been turned out
[Bridge]
I wanna thank you, thank you
Thank you, oh baby
Thank you, baby
Yeah, yeah
Oh, babe
I got to thank you
Got to say
[Chorus]
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did, oh, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
[Outro]
Thank you
Thank you, baby
Baby
Got to thank you
Thank you
Oh baby
Thank, I've got, I've gotta
Thank you
Baby
Thank you, baby
Oh baby
Thank you, baby
Got to thank you
Oh baby
Thank you, thank you
Thank you
