Lyrics

I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you were

With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I wanna stop and thank you baby, yes I do

The core needs in a romantic relationship include; affection, intimacy, connection, respect, communication, support, appreciation, trust, acceptance, empathy, forgiveness, and commitment.

This, “Thank You Love Song” clearly expresses that the listener is checking all the boxes. It serves as a reminder that we should show up for our relationship in this way, and that we should express appreciation for them.

Thought Catalog said; "Thank you for making my life better," is a simple and direct way to express gratitude to someone who has positively impacted your life; it conveys a sincere appreciation for their presence and the positive changes they've brought to your life. 

You can also add a personal touch by saying: 

  • "You've made such a difference in my life, thank you." 

  • "I truly appreciate your support and how you've helped me become a better person." 

  • "I'm so grateful to have you in my life, you brighten every day." 

  • "I couldn't have done it without you, thank you for making my life better." 

Lyrics

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh yes

Lyrics

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop and thank you, baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby, oh now
