Intro: verse 1: NC I was young (BOP) And didn't have nowhere to run I needed to wake up and see What was in front of me Nah, Nah, Oh There had to be a better way To show I'm grateful, hmmmmm So I thought up this song To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long You don't know 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 verse 2: All through my life I knew that you'd be my world Knowing everywhere 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 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 Bridge: NC Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho Da - Dup - Da-Da Da-aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho Da - Dup - Da-Da Da-aaaaa-aaaaa-Da-dup 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
