v.1
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did, an' I thank you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did, an' I thank you

If you took your love to someone 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

v.2
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, but you did, an' I thank you
You didn't have to hold it but you did
But you did, but you did, an' I thank you

Every day was something new
You put on your bag an' your fine to-do
You got me tryin' new things, too
Just so I could keep up with you

Instr. Brk

v.3
You didn't have to shake it but you did
But you did, but you did, an' I thank you
You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did, but you did, an' I thank you

All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love, baby, it's a cryin' shame
But now I know what the fellas talkin' about
When they say that they been turned out

I want to thank you [4t]
