You didn´t have to love me, like you did
But you didn´t, but you did
And I thank you
You didn´t have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn´t, 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 I´ve never felt
Your kiss is so good, I got the holler for help

You didn´t have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn´t, but you did, and I thank you
You didn´t have to hold me, like you did
But you didn´t, but you did, and I thank you

Now every day there´s 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 didn´t have to shake me, like you did
But you didn´t, but you did, and I thank you
You didn´t have to make me, like you did
But you didn´t, but you did, and I thank you

All my life I´ve been short changed
Without your love it would be a crying shame
Now I know what love I´m looking for
When they say they´re being turned on

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

You didn´t have to love me, like you did
But you didn´t, but you did, and I thank you
You didn´t have to hold me, like you did
But you didn´t, 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 I´ve 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 friend´s phone number
Thank you for understanding, that me and your sister are just good friends.
