you gave when you had nothing but nothing, there’d been no car in the driveway; you cared enough to see, you loaned a cup of sugar and acted like you believed us

and i want to thank you, thank you, thank you

your daddy didn’t like the way you put on your make-up, but you always told me how beautiful i was, he said that singing’s for loose women and you, you said you liked my song

and i want to thank you, thank you, thank you

there’s too many people who’ve got no one to listen, try to follow the rules and maybe someday get paid – seems they’ve all had their joy chipped away by the people they trusted, and still manage to give their precious love away

they said that you can’t love who you love - you told me you loved me – your folks didn’t want you no more but you took me in; they all pretended not to see you and you, you touched my face

and i want to thank you, thank you, thank you, and i want to thank you, thank you, thank you
