I Thank You - Sam & Dave

Written by：David Porter/Isaac Hayes

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

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 been turned out

I want to thank you thank you

Thank you oh baby

Thank you baby yeah yeah

Oh baby I gotta be thanking

Got to say

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 hold me like you did

But you did but you did

And I thank you

Thank you thank you baby

Baby Got to thank you

Baby oh baby

Thank I've Got I've got to thank you baby

Thank you baby oh baby
