Special

You smile because you know
You smile because you know
You smile I told you so
C'mon gimme a smile---I'm gonna let you know
You're something special
Your momma don't lie
Your papa don't lie
Your momma don't lie
Your papa don't lie
All of the good things
They said about you
THey said you were hot
Ooo I think it might be true
Special special what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Special special what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Get away from me
I'm gonna hurt somebody
Get away from me
I'm gonna hurt somebody
No, I don't really want to hurt nobody
But sometimes I just gotta hurt somebody
'Cause people are dangerous
And people are adventurous
And people are mysterious
And people are they're suspicious
Of somebody who' special
What's so special about him
What's so special
