Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, yes, you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, yes, you did
And I thank you
[Verse 2]
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've got to holler for help
[Verse 3]
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, yes, you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, yes, you did
And I thank you
[Verse 4]
Everyday you find something new
To pull out your bag, burn the dew
You got me tryin' to new things too
Just so I could keep up with you
[Verse 5]
Thank you, baby
[Verse 6]
Didn't have to shake it like you did but you did
Yes, you did
And I thank you
Didn't have to make it like you did but you did
Yes, you did
And I thank you
[Verse 7]
All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love, baby
It's a cryin' shame
Now I know what the girls are talkin' about
When they say that you, ooh
[Verse 8]
Wanna thank you, baby
Thank you, honey
I got to thank you
Woo-hoo, baby, yeah
