[Verse:]
I was young (BOP)
And didn't have no where too run

I needed to (wake up) and see (and see)
What's in front of me (na-na-op)
There had to be, 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 youooo)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away

You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)


[Verse:]
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 sure enough 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 howmuch you mean to me


[Chorus]
