(I want everybody to get up off your seat) (And get your arms together, and your hands together) (And give me some of that o-o-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 you. If 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 help You didn't have to squeeze me but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. You didn't have to hold me but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. Every day was something new, You pull out 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 And I thank you.
