you said 'thank you'

I know sometimes I go overboard
with all the mushy talk
I know I use too many words
to get the point across
I know there's a better way
to get to what I'm getting to

you're always so direct, so to the point
like you know ahead of time where it's going
and when you love me, it's just the same way

you let me know
what I need to do
to really show,
to unlock love for you
to understand
the light in your eyes
like a command
I never realized

when you said "thank you" I knew right then
I had found the key to all your lovin
some things were a puzzle, like a mystery
but when you said those words you solved it for me
showed me something I couldn't see
when you said "thank you, thank you for holding me"

you told me what all you could do,
if I'd let you try
to lead the way, not be a tough guy
you said I'd be surprised, and it was true

i wasn't sure what was goin on,
or if it was ok
I'd never before felt this strong
or quite this way
but everything was perfect, just fine

when you said "thank you" I knew right then
I had found the key to all your lovin
some things had been a puzzle, like a mystery
but when you said those words you solved it for me
showed me something I couldn't see
when you said "thank you, thank you for holding me"
"thank you, thank you, cutes, for loving me"
"thank you, baby, for setting me free"
