Lyrics I Thank You - The Commitments

I Thank You

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
