Remember when our bread box Didn't hold a crumb I'd look to friends They'd see me, duck, and run the other way A few words from you Put my ego in repair You gave me hope In the face of despair everyday And nights while you lay sleeping Curled up by my side I lie awake in the dark And gazed at you with pride Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady (I'm so glad you're my lady) In my life I was caught up in the rat race Of 9 to 5 success Sometimes I fail at home To give a happiness and love you need You could've packed and left But you made a sacrifice It makes me more determined now To give you a better life and succeed And when people start to ask me Just what pulled me through I've got to give you credit Just where credit is due (I'd say) Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady (I'm so glad you're my lady) In my life Let me reassure you Wipe those tears away I'd be crazy to leave you For the rest of your life You'll hear me say Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady (I'm so glad you're my lady) In my life Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady Thank God, thank God, thank God That you're my lady (I'm so glad you're my lady) In my life
