I Thank You
ZZ Top Lyrics

You didn't have to love me like you did
You went above and beyond in loving me, exceeding what was expected

But you did, but you did.
Despite the fact that you didn't have to, you still loved me deeply

And I thank you.
I am grateful for your love and everything you've done for me

But you took your love to someone else
You chose to give your love to another person instead of me

I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
I cannot imagine experiencing such intense love as a result

You made me feel like I've never felt
You gave me a sense of happiness and fulfillment that I'd never experienced before

Kisses so good I had to holler for help
Your kisses were so amazing that I couldn't help but express my joy loudly

You didn't have to squeeze it but you did
You gave me a tight embrace even though it wasn't necessary

But you did but you did
Again, you exceeded my expectations by doing something unnecessary

And I thank you.
Once again, I express my thanks and gratitude

Every day was something new
My life was constantly exciting and varied because of you

You put on your bag and your fine to-do
You always looked amazing and stylish

You got me trying new things too
You encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and experience new things

Just so I can keep up with you.
I was inspired and motivated to improve myself to match your energy and enthusiasm

You didn't have to shake it but you did
You danced with me even though you didn't have to

But you did but you did
Once again, you exceeded my expectations by dancing with me even when it wasn't necessary

And I thank you.
As always, I express my gratitude and appreciation

You didn't have to make it like you did
You went above and beyond in some aspect, exceeding expectations

but you did but you did
And you did it without any prompting or obligation

And I thank you.
Once again, my gratitude is expressed

All my life I've been shortchanged
I have always felt like I was missing out on something

Without your love baby it's a crying shame
If I didn't have your love, it would be a tragedy

But now I know what the fellas talking about
I now understand why other men talk about the amazing feeling of love

Hear me say that they been turned out
I realize that other men have been captivated and transformed by love, just like me

I want to thank you
Once again, I express my gratitude

Yes, I want to thank you
And I want to be very clear that my appreciation is genuine and strong
