The lyrics put a fast, giddy wobble on new attraction, with the narrator saying it began as something platonic and has since tipped into feelings she recognises as “something special”. The song’s confidence comes in quick conversational bursts, trading wonder and uncertainty, then settling on the idea that the connection is real enough to call out.

Lyrics

something special

[Intro]

(Okay, so it was, "Ba-da-da-da)

(Yeah, that was it, woo)

[Verse 1]

You and me got so much in common

And when you're around there's butterflies all in my throat

Woke up and realised I'm falling for you

Yeah, we started out platonic, but I know we got something special

[Chorus]

Lucky like a four-leaf clover

I'm in love with my best friend

Took a while to comprehend

But I know we got something special

Take time to think it over

Don't it feel like common sense?

Had to get it off my chest

I know we got something special

[Verse 2]

Have an open mind about it

We could have a cottage up in northern Minnesota, yeah

Sitting by the fire drinking coffee

Now, don't that sound nice? Mmm-mmm

I can't believe this whole time I've been looking for you

So where you at on all of that?

'Cause I know we got something special

[Chorus]

Lucky like a four-leaf clover

I'm in love with my best friend

Took a while to comprehend

But I know we got something special

Take time to think it over

Don't it feel like common sense?

Had to get it off my chest

I know we got something special

[Bridge]

I slept so good last night, woke up feeling so fine

I got you by my side and we got something special

You're my source of light, yeah

I was so deprived, yeah

Now I'm feeling alright and we got something special (Yeah)

[Chorus]

Lucky like a four-leaf clover

I'm in love with my best friend

Took a while to comprehend

But I know we got something special

Take time to think it over

Don't it feel like common sense?

Had to get it off my chest

I know we got something special

Lucky like a four-leaf clover

I'm in love with my best friend

Took a while to comprehend

But I know we got something special

Take time to think it over

Don't it feel like common sense?

Had to get it off my chest

I know we got something special

joan: "Pop can be whatever you want it to be"

Alan Thomas and Steven Rutherford - aka Arkansas duo joan - make chilled out, grooving retro synth-pop tunes that call back to the likes of 80s legends Pet Shop Boys in their sparkly heyday.
