Sometimes I wonder... Do you
Even recognize the woman
That's standing in front of you
Sometimes I wonder... Do you
Even care or realize why I took care of you
'Cuz you're my heart
You are my soul
You're my other half
Without you I can not be whole baby
So far apart
I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know why
These tears I cry... sure won't be the last
They will not be the last... no
This pain inside... never seems to pass
It never seems to pass... me by
So I thank you
Said I thank you
Yes I thank you
For making me a woman
Sometimes I wonder... could she be
More of a woman to you thank you were a man to me
Sometime I wonder... why me
I'm here miserable while you're out living your fantasies
And didn't care [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/estelle/thank_you.html ]
'Cuz you're my heart
You are my soul
You're my other half
Without you I can not be whole baby
So far apart
I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know baby why
These tears I cry... sure won't be the last
They will not be the last... no
This pain inside... never seems to pass
It never seems to pass... me by
So I thank you
Said I thank you
Yes I thank you
For making me a woman
One thing I learned in life
We all gotta go through to survive
I hope she's happy
'Cuz you're the chapter that I'll be closing
Hope you're happy
'Cuz once my door closes it won't be open
These tears I cry... sure won't be the last
They will not be the last... no
This pain inside... never seems to pass
It never seems to pass... me by
So I thank you
Said I thank you
Yes I thank you
For making me a woman
We dated off and on for 12 years, i let him live with me in my house for 3 years, not helping with the mortgage or anything else. He ran the streets, drank too much, flirted too much, and was unfaithful, but for some reason, i loved him... Came to realize that i loved him more than i loved myself. He did finally buy me a ring... A 1.5 carat emerald cut platinum but he met someone else, she and i fought (not over him but because of lies he told her). They had known each other for 9 months and got married. I always knew what he was about but i allowed myself to get caught up. I came to realize that it is true that god does not take away without giving up something better and he did! Im married to an awesome man, we have a beautiful son, a beautiful home, and a god centered life. I did, in the midst of our breakup, thank him for all of the bs he put me through, thanked god that he spared me from contracting aids or any other disease from him and going through that has made me more in love with my husband, child, and myself! Estelle's song struck a nerve in me when i first heard it because i realized that i haven't forgotten the pain he put me through, nor do i want to. I embrace it, and i "thank" him for contributing to making my marriage sweet, my self-confidence stronger, and my life beautiful! I do know that he has asked about me (we have mutual friends still). He and my husband know each other and he was livid once he found out we were dating because he knew the door would not be opened this time. His wife and i are in the same sorority (we didn't know each other before this). I've known him most of my life and know how he is/what he's about... Maybe she could change him so i hope she's happy. I hope he's happy... He knows i'm happy and that has to be the sweetest revenge of all... A life well lived! Thank you for the song estelle!

Thank you for the bs that you put through; but on the same hand, "thankyou" for helping me grow into the 'man' i am today.

Thank you means accepting the message, or something that someone gave to you. If it is pain you thank them for letting you know what they don't need in their life. If it is love they thank you for showing them you care.

What doesn't kill you can make you stronger. Song seems full of sacrifice

He has moved on and although she luvs him... There is nothing there anymore. Even though it hurts her, she is strong enough to move on.

He put her through heartache and pain but she loved him. She let him go... Because of what she went through she is a woman now.

The lyrics to this song is very deep. I think the main focus of the song is that she is informing her significant other that he has taught her something that he didn't mean to teach her. Thus, for that she is thanking him because it made her a woman. He thought he had a girl, someone weak and dumb. The hurt and pain of the relationship, caused her to become stronger and wiser, a woman. Something he never intended to do or happen. Now that she's strong, she's not just closing the door, she going bolt that bad boy shut so he can't get back in. She is fully aware that hurt may come again, but she knows she is capable of closing that door also. You go girl:-)

Thank you for being in my life and taking me through what i went through with you but at the same time i love you and i know they'll be tears in the future. But this relationship has set the expectations for any future relationships, as far as how to handle them. Thank you for making me strong enough of a woman to be able to handle what's coming. I hope that your happy because even if you wanted me back my door is closed so i hope you and her are happy.
