You didnt have to love me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did
And I thank you
You didnt have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you

If you took your love to someone else
I know what I meant to be the loving dare
You made me feel like Ive never felt
Your kiss is so good, I got the holler for help

You didnt have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you
You didnt have to hold me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you

Now every day theres something new
You put your make-up and your mild perfume
You got me trying to do things, too
Just so that I can keep up with you

You didnt have to shake me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you
You didnt have to make me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you

All my life Ive been short changed
Without your love it would be a crying shame
Now I know what love Im looking for
When they say theyre being turned on

I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, baby, thank you, thank you I got to say

You didnt have to love me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you
You didnt have to hold me, like you did
But you didnt, but you did, and I thank you
I wanna thank you, baby I wanna thank you, let me count the ways
Let me thank you, baby, baby Ive got something to say

Thank you baby
Let me count the ways, for the whole wide world to hear, oh yeah
Now thank you for paying for my cold beer
I wanna thank you for being here with me baby
Thank you for understanding why I was out so late last night
Thank you for giving me your best friends phone number
Thank you for understanding, that me and your sister are just good friends.
