Estelle – Thank You lyrics
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

'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

    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.

    To me this song is that there was a relationship between two people and this person treated her wrong in so many ways but he taught her how to better herself so next time if there is a next time in a relationship she will know how to handle any situation and she was thanking him because I done that and been there I feel in love with a married man and I relized he treated the wife better because that was his wife but I done things she never do or did so I opened my eyes and that really taught me some do's and do not's and in the end I thanked him for teaching me besides he was older then me and I do learn from older men so estelle my hat goes off to you and your song it is my call back song but only me and him when he calls me know why that song is my call back song.

    This song is about the hard lessons one must learn in order to move on to their next step of maturity. Estelle is saying thank you for helping her figure out her limits (what she will and will not take in a relationship), and no matter what else she experiences the pain she feels from this will give her the strength to make the right decisions for her, so "thank you".

    Dedicated to my ex. Thing song has so much meaning behind it, what she is really talking about is a man in her life who matured her in a sense. She is saying that she learned how to be a woman because of him and he helped her learn. No matter if her hurt her or left her she grew stronger and learned from the experience. She is saying that even though he hurt her she is finding something positive out of the situation and actually thanking him because if it wasn't for him she would have still been naive. This is just my opinion on it.

    My daughter was a grown mother of her own child and although it hurt me that she didn't see my strength I had to set her free to become a woman in her own right since she couldn't see the strength of a woman in me. It hurt me to do what she made me do, but it renewed my faith, making me the strongest woman either of us could ever be!

    After being married and taking care of a man for 30 years and 4 kids later, instead of the fury from hell from a scorned woman, "thank you" estelle, for showing we can take the high road and gracefully slam that door, never looking back, and never to reopen that door again! I hope you all are happy and I hope she can take care of you like you should've taken care of me. Not to say it isn't painful, but it can be handled with dignity. Thanks again estelle, for helping me understand my pain.

    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! I'm 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!

    The meaning I got from the song thank you, was a woman who fell in love with a man at a young age, and over the years he caused her a lot of hurt, pain and heartache. But from all of that hurt she flourished and grew into a beautiful intelligent woman. The woman that god intended for her to be (she finally knew her worth as a woman). She had enough of the lies and broken heart, her door was now closed to this man and she was finally moving on. But before she completely cut him off she wanted to say thank you and express to him that from all of his bs he helped her to become the strong independent woman she is today. Yeah it hurt but she because he was her everything, but she had to love him enough to let him go.

    I think song means that even though you took me through the mistrust, cheating, lies, games that in the end he helped her to grow up and know that she deserves better and even though she has crying nights and the pain is as strong as it was in the beginning that she is okay! She on her grown folks ish now thanks to his petty a$$. So my life!

    She is saying thank you for making me the woman I am here today, you taught me pain, heartbreak, and how to be strong. The new lady in your life is a new chapter, my chapter with you is done time to move on and not re-read what was already read. Even through my pain and what you have done I thank you, so now I know what not to look for when love comes my way again.
