I was young and didn't have no where to run
I needed to wake up and see what's in front of me
There has to be a better way, sing it again now
Better way to show I'm grateful

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
'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)
Wenk, wenk, wenk, wenk, bop
Wenk, wenk, wenk, wenk, bop
Wenk, wenk, wenk, wenk, bop
Wenk, wenk, wenk, wenk, bop bop

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 'nough couldn't have survived without you, 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
'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)
'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)

'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)

'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)

'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)

'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)

'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)
