I Thank You Lyrics by The Commitments

The Commitments, Vol. 2

1992

[Chorus: Robert Arkins, Background Singers]
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

[Verse 1: Robert Arkins]
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

[Chorus: Robert Arkins, Background Singers]
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

[Verse 2: Robert Arkins]
Every day there's 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

[Chorus: Robert Arkins, Background Singers]
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 me like you did
But you did but you did, and I thank you

[Verse 3: Robert Arkins]
All my life, I've been shortchanged
Without your love, baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they've been turned out

[Bridge: Robert Arkins, Background Singers]
I wanna thank you (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you)
Thank you, baby (Thank you, baby)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Robert Arkins, Background Singers]
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did, ha, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did, and I thank you

[Outro: Robert Arkins, Background Singers, Niamh Kavanagh]
Thank you (Thank you)
Thank you, baby (Thank you)
I wanna thank you
I've gotta, I wanna thank you
(Thank you, thank you)
I wanna thank you, oh
Thank you, baby (Thank you, thank you)
I thank, I got, I wanna thank you, baby
(Thank you, thank you)
Thank you
Take it
Oh, I wanna thank you
I just gotta say I gotta
I got to thank you, baby
Oh baby, I wanna, oh baby
Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, yeah, baby now
I thank you, baby
Ah baby, I gotta thank you now
Oh, oh baby
