[Verse 1: Wanya]
I was young (BOP)
And didn't have no where to run
I needed to wake up and see (and see)
What's in front of me (na-na-na)
There has to be a better way
Sing it again a better way
To show I'm grateful (hum)
So I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know much you mean to me
[Chorus:]
Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
[Verse 2: Wanya/Mike]
All through my life
I knew that you'd be my world
Knowing every where I go
Things you taught me they would show
So many times and changes
You've seen me through
I sho nuff couldn't have survived without you
And so I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me, oh
[Chorus] (x2)
[Break]
[Harmonies]
[Chorus] (repeat to fade)
