I Wanna Thank You Baby - Delbert McClinton

Heart to heart talks, moonlight walks

Receiving money by mail

A fireplace with a view and being here with you

Honey, sure beats laying in the Fort Worth jail

I’m so glad you found me 'cause with your love

I got a handle on a better point of view

I wanna thank you, baby

And my mama wants to thank you, too

Some things I can’t mention than keep my attention

I love the way you move

It makes me wanna grin and then give in

To anything you want me to

If I die in the morning it’ll be alright

I ain’t never gonna feel good again as I feel tonight

I wanna thank you, baby

And my mama wants to thank you, too

Wearin' it out before layin' it down

Is the way I been livin' too long

I just can’t believe the change in me

Baby, since you came along

Got no time for dyin' 'cause I just been born

And, baby, I swear it’s true

I wanna thank you, baby

And my mama wants to thank you, too

Oh, yeah

I wanna thank you, baby

And my mama wants to thank you, too
