{I want everybody to get up off your seat
And get your arms together, and your hands together
And give me some of that old soul clapping}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 youIf you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for helpYou 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 youEvery day was something new
You pull out your bag and you're fine to do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with youYou 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, and I thank youAll my life I've been short changed
Without your love, baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned outI want to thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you baby, yeah, yeah
Oh baby, thank you
Got to sayYou didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did, oh, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did, and I thank youThank you, thank you, baby
Got to thank you, oh, baby
Thank, I've got, I've got to thank you baby
Oh baby, ohh
