bryanslady Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I need some help with a song. It'll probably be an easy one for you. The lyrics are: "You didn't have to love me, but you did, but you did, yes you did, and I thank you." What is the title of the song and who sang it? Thanks.

bryanslady Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 That's one version but the one I'm thinking of is sung by a male singer. Maybe the original? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hmmm. Tom Jones??? I think he sang the original, but Reba's gets played the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanslady Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I heard it the other day on the radio and the guy who was singing it had kind of a rough gravelly voice. Not Tom Jones though. I grew up listening to his music. My mom was MADLY in love with him. I'd know his voice anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hehe. Then try the original singers, Sam & Dave (Tom Jones covered it too ). They sang the original. Isaac Hayes composed this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Make no mistake bryanslady, ZZ Top is the band that sings your song: ~I Thank You~ 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 love me like you did But you did, but you did. And I thank you. But you took your love to someone 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 it but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. You didn?t have to hold it but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. Every day was something new, You put on 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 it but 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 But now I know what the fellas talking about Hear me say that they been turned out I want to thank you I want to thank you I want to thank you Yes, I want to thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanslady Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Thanks so much XXX for doing all the research for my song, but Muziktyme hit the nail on the head. I just listened to a clip of it on cdnow.com and the ZZ Top version is indeed the one I was looking for. "I Thank You" both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
