   I think this song is about a woman who did everything she could for a guy but got little in return..even reads like he had erectile dysfunction..."But you took your love to someone else
   I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death" he realises he blew it and only has his memories and thinks "thank you".
   "All my life I've been shortchange"...he feels sorry for himself but then tries to make himself feel better "But now I know what the fellas talking about
   Hear me say that they been turned out"

   The part about "the other fellas talking about, how they getting all turned out."
   
   This sounds like drugs under the metaphore of a relationship.
   
   ZZ top didn't write this song it is a cover.

   This song is simply one of the guys thanking his wife for being with him
   "you didn't have to love me, but you did, but you did, but you did. And i thank you"
