I want to thank you for being so nice now 
I want to thank you for giving me my pride 
Sweet kisses too 
And everything you do 
I know I'll never find another one like you 
If I prove my love it won't be true 
Oh my my darling 
How can I forget you 

I remember the first day that we met 
I taught you how to smoke your first cigarette 
You were so sweet 
In everything you did 
And oh darling 
You made me seem so big 
Just to have you right there in my arms 
Just to hold 
To squeeze all of your sweet loving charm 

I wanna thank you 
Darling I wanna love you 

I wanna thank you again and say bye bye 
I wanna thank you again 
Oh how I will cry 
Sweet kisses to you and everything you do 
Darling I wish I had another one like you 
Just to hold you 
Have them in my arms 
It will bring back memories 
And all of your sweet loving charm 

I wanna thank you 
Darling I want to love you 
Baby I wanna hold you 
Please let me kiss you
