[Verse 1: Forrest Whitaker, both]
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did (and I thank you)
Well, 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 today
You made me feel like I've never felt
The kisses so good, I had to holler for help

[Verse 2: Forrest Whitaker, Terrence Howard, both]
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)
Everyday was something new
You put up your bags and you knew what to do
You've got me trying new thing too
Just so I can keep up with you

[Verse 3: Forrest Whitaker, Terrence Howard, both]
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
Like you did, like you did, babe (and I thank you)
Over life, I've been short changed
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
Thank you baby, thank you god, you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But yo did, but you did (and I thank you)
[Verse 4: Forrest Whitaker, Terrence Howard, both]
You didn't have to hold me but you did
Bit you did, but you did (and I thank you)
Thank you baby, thank you baby
Oh, oh baby
Thank you baby
Thank you Mama
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you baby for waking me up in the morning time
Thank you thank you, baby (forest)
Girl, thank you baby, thank you love (forest?)
Thank you god, thank you, thank you, thank you, baby
Thank you baby, for holding me up, in the morning time
Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms, baby
Thank you baby
Sweet arms, baby
Thank you love
Thank you girl, thank you girl, thank you girl
Oh, babe
