Default Is this Really a Bon Jovi Song?

I came across this on the internet and I have never heard of it before it i was wondering is this actually a Bon Jovi song? It is called "I Thank You"
Here are the lyrics:

Bon Jovi- I Thank You
You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

If you took your love to someone else
I know what I meant to be the loving dare
You made me feel like I've never felt
Your kiss is so good, I got the holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

Now every day there's something new
You put your make-up and your mild perfume
You got me trying to do things, too
Just so that I can keep up with you

You didn't have to shake me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to make me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

All my life I've been short changed
Without your love it would be a crying shame
Now I know what love I'm looking for
When they say they're being turned on

I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, baby, thank you, thank you I got to say

You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
I wanna thank you, baby I wanna thank you, let me count the ways
Let me thank you, baby, baby I've got something to say

Thank you baby
Let me count the ways, for the whole wide world to hear, oh yeah
Now thank you for paying for my cold beer
I wanna thank you for being here with me baby
Thank you for understanding why I was out so late last night
Thank you for giving me your best friend's phone number
Thank you for understanding, that me and your sister are just good friends.

Does anyone know did they write this or ever record it?

Aloha !

No it's a cover song recorded during the These Days era and released on the Japanese version of the Hey God single and the Brazilian and European 2 CD limited edition of the These Days album.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Sam & Dave was a very popular soul act in the 60's. They looked like this:
