I Thank You - The Commitments

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
