I, oh I, I wanna be somebody special in your life
Oh, hear me, girl
I, I just can't stand, Lord knows
I just can't stand to hear you tell me no
Think about it twice
And do you know what, I, I wanna be the only man
That you'll let stand by your side
And oh, I, can't you see
I wanna be your protector and your guard
And that's why I'm striving hard everyday, darling
Cuz I, I wanna be somebody special in your life
Oh girl, and I just can't stand to hear you tell me no
Oh, darling, think about it twice
that's all you got to do
Cuz I know ninety-nine
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
One thing I know, it's gonna take a hundred
And I say I've been thinking of you
darling, to see me through
And I get down on my knees and beg to you, darling
And oh I know you know
I know you know I wanna be somebody
Special in your life
Ah ah oh, darling
It ain't no harm to moan sometime
Oh
