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 But you took your love to someone else I wouldn't know what it meant To be loved to death Yeah, 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 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 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 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 I thank you All my life I've been short-changed Without your love, baby, it's a crying shame And now I know what the fellas're talking about When they say that they'd been turned out I want to thank you I want to thank you Thank you, baby (Fade out)
