[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)
