Lyrics

You’re Special

[Verse 1: Lionel Richie]

Good morning, sunshine

A sweet morning dew

A flower that blooms every day

Such a perfect smile

That makes me dream a while

About all the things I see in you

It's all because

[Chorus: Lionel Richie & Commodores]

You're special

What else can I say?

I can only say how much I love you, sweet baby

You're special

It's how I feel when I'm with you

You're special

Each and every way

You're special

Ooh yeah

[Verse 2: Lionel Richie]

You are a friend in time of need

Whatever I need I know you'll be there

Yeah, yes, I'm a man, and a man is supposed to be strong

But I can't go on without your love

That's all because

[Chorus: Lionel Richie & Commodores]

You're special

There's so much more I wanna do for you, baby

You're special

I'm so in love with you

Ooh, ti>You're special

Touch me tenderly

You're special

Sugar, all the things you do to me, yeah

[Outro: Lionel Richie & Commodores]

Girl, you're so special

Ooh baby, some kind of lady

You're my kind of lady, yeah yeah yeah

You're special

Ooh, some kind of lady

Some kind of lady

You're special

Some kind of lady

My kind of lady, yeah yeah

You're special

Some kind of lady

You're special

Nobody would know what you do to me

Some kind of lady

Lord knows what you've done for feeling free

You're special

Girl, you give me what I never ever had before

Some kind of lady

You keep me risin' back for more

You're special

Some kind of lady
