[Spoken Intro: K-Ci]
Anybody ever told you
That you're so special

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
You're so special, girl
Has anybody told you that lately?
You're so special, lady
That's what you are to me
Special

[Verse 1: K-Ci]
When I wake up, I feel brand new
So renewed
When I wake up, I feel like singing
La da da da da
La de da de da, la de da de da da
When I get up, I feel like dancing
Clap my hands, reminisce on your romancing
I'm on my way, I'm coming through
I can't wait to see you

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
You're so special, girl
Has anybody told you that lately?
You're so special, lady
That's what you are to me
Special

[Verse 2: JoJo + (K-Ci)]
Have I told you lately, baby
That you're the biggest part of me?
The second most reason that I ever breathe
I love the way you handle things
Love the way you take good care of me
Girl, it's so, so sweet to me (I thank God)
I'm so glad that God sent me you (Ooh, yes I am)
I'm so glad I can depend on you

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
You're so special, girl
Has anybody told you that lately?
You're so special, lady
That's what you are to me
Special

[Bridge: K-Ci & JoJo]
I treasure things about you
(You are the only one, you are the only one for me)
The things that you do (for me)
('Cause you are the only one, you are the only one for me)
You give me joy
Girl, I'm in love with you
(Oh babe, baby, baby)

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
You're so special, girl
Has anybody told you that lately?
You're so special, lady
That's what you are to me
You're so special, girl
Has anybody told you that lately?
You're so special, lady
That's what you are to me
Special

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
