About This Track

'Something Special' by Usher is an R&B/Soul track from the album 'Here I Stand' (2010). The lyrics place the singer in a wide-eyed, romantic register, with direct address to a lover and a sense of fresh momentum, as in “This one's for the lovers”. The opening leans on playful repetition and invitation, then settles into verses that sound newly energised, with talk of being drawn in and of a clear, fixed focus on the person in front of them.

"Something Special" is a track by Usher, from the album Here I Stand, released 29th March 2010. The track is 3:57 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Usher.

Lyrics

Something Special

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

This one's for the lovers

Follow me

[Verse 1]

Clearly, this is new for me

I get excited when you're here, my dear

Make no mistake, you are all I see, sugar

My visions never been so clear, hah

We both know that I've been running so long

This time, love won't let me leave

Please be patient, hesitation aside

We're almost where we need to be

But in the meantime, let me say what's on my mind

[Chorus]

Baby I, I think we've got something special

Girl, you and me together, we'll take over the world

You know I love you, I need your soul

So happy, I just wanna let everybody know

[Bridge 1]

Think back to the time

When I was scared to let it show

Having too much fun, this and that or what

Now that you're mine

Ha, yeah, somewhere along the way, everything fell in place

[Verse 2]

I'm so proud of how you represent me, baby

Whether rocking Armani, Dolce Gabbana

Roberto Cavalli, Louie, or Gucci, girl

No matter what you wear, you do your own with it

I'll feel the same years from here

But in the meantime, let me say what's on my mind

Ooh, listen

[Chorus]

I think we've got something special

Girl, you and me together, we'll take over the world

You know I love you, I need your soul

So happy, I just wanna let everybody know

That I think we've got something special

Girl, you and me together, we'll take over the world

You know I love you, I need your soul

So happy, I just wanna let everybody know

[Bridge 2]

You know I need you baby, you know I do

I need you baby, you know I do

I need you baby, you know I do

Know I need you baby

Now that you're mine

Somewhere along the way, everything fell in place

[Chorus]

Baby, I think we've got something special

Girl, you and me together, we'll take over the world

You know I love you, I need your soul

So happy, I just wanna let everybody know

I think we've got something special

Girl, you and me together, we'll take over the world

You know I love you, girl, I need your soul

I'll never, never let you go, no

[Outro]

You're so special
