Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(That special one)
Oh, baby (You're that special one)
(That special one)
Ooh, do-do-do-do
[Verse 2]
Special one
You are that special one
You're that special one
You are that special one
Ooh, that special one
Sugar, sugar, that special one
Oh, that special one
Yeah, that special one, woo
[Verse 3]
There's something about the way you walk (Walk)
And there's something 'bout the way you talk (Talk)
And I saw you sitting there on the shelf (Shelf)
I knew I have to had you for myself (Self)
[Verse 4]
I only met you yesterday, but as strange as it seems
You answered all my prayers, you're the girl on my dreams
(That special one)
Oh, I can't deny (You are that special one)
The one that caught my eye
[Verse 5]
Oh, baby
You are my special one, Lord knows, baby (You are that special one)
Oh, baby, ooh
[Verse 6]
Something about the way you look (Look)
To describe her, I'd have to write myself a book (Book)
Oh, babe, ooh, something 'bout the things you do (Do)
Oh, that has won my confidence in you, girl (You)
[Verse 7]
Oh, mama told me, someday, someone would set my soul on fire
Now, I'm burning up, burning up, woo, burning with desire
I'm burning up, oh, burning up (I'm burning up) hey, baby (Hey, baby)
[Verse 8]
Oh, come here, baby
Woo, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, ain't nobody sweeter
And only Heaven knows how much I need you, girl
(You are, you are, you are that special one)
Sugar, I want you to understand
I place my whole life in your loving hands
(You are, you are, you are that special one)
[Verse 9]
There's something about the way that I feel (Feel)
That makes me know that my love is real (Real)
Oh, you're that special one
Sugar, sugar, that special one
Whoa, that special one
Oh, my special one
Ooh, my special one
Yeah, that special one
Ooh, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
(You are that special one, that special one)
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
[Verse 10]
Special one
Oh, my special one
Ooh, that special one
Yeah, that special one, ooh (You are that special one)
You are so special, honey
Oh, that special one, special one
You're that special one
Special one, that special one
Oh, that special one
Ooh, that special one
You are that special one, woo
That special one, woo
Do-do-do, special one
