You're a little on the thin side But that's alright You stood by me baby When I didn't think we'd ever see daylight Rolled out of California Like a couple of thieves Now we're rolling in clover babe We didn't read this in no tea leaves My fate was sealed before I met you darling I was halfway down a shallow grave So little room for you to catch me falling Still you took the little love I saved I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl It's a matter of opinion But I think you're fine As a matter of fact babe They couldn't hold a candle to your kind If all men are equal This must be against the law 'Cause I can't help but feeling I'm one up on my brother when night falls 'Cause in your arms I get the real love story No fairy tale from somewhere back in time In the dawn you're like a morning glory Opening up for my sweet light to shine I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl
