[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
