[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

Some kind of lady
You keep me risin' back for more
You're special
Some kind of lady
