You’re Special Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, you, baby, you
You're somethin' special
Baby, I know
I know what you're thinkin'
Maybe, maybe, I'm wastin' your time
But I promise, but I promise
I know that I go back and forth
But I won't let you, I won't let you, I won't let you down
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I meant it when I told you, "I would change"
Meant it when I told you, "I would stay"
Sick of talkin' on the phone, babe
Time to pack your car and come to my state
Come to my place, look at my face, oh, yeah
You know I ain't playin'
I sent you some money, yeah, hop in the car
And get on the road, here we go
Baby, I can't lie
I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit scared right now, girl, girl, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you want more
And I can't blame you for
Askin' me for something you deserve
[Chorus]
You're special
Yo-yo-you're special
Oh, yeah, you're special
Yo-yo-you're special

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I knew it, you was my type
We ain't gotta skip to the highlights
You're the highlight, girl, of my life (Woo)
Both of us have got a past, but it's alright
All night car rides
Drivin' through the city, yeah, the view's fantastic
It's automatic, could see you smile, gotta have it
She got me thinkin' maybe I'ma have to put a ring on it
Girl, I ain't never been a romantic, but I could romance ya
Get your shoes on, baby, I am not askin'
I'm 'bout to take you out to dinner, put the black dress on
Got the room gaspin', how did this happen?
I don't even know
She's the type to sing my words at the show
She's the type to pick me up when I'm low
And remind me she got my back, no matter what
Yeah, I think she hearin' me now
Say what I think, so I'm thinkin' out loud
I need a woman I know I can trust, and I got one
I guess you can say that she down
Callin' my phone, and she told me she proud
She said my name and I like how that sounds, oh, yeah
(I like that)
[Bridge]
I like how that sounds
(Yeah, baby, I—yeah)
Baby, don't make me lose myself
I mean, I need somebody I know I can trust (Yeah)
I mean, I'm bein' honest
I ain't ever met a girl like you (No)
Baby, you can call me
You can call me anytime
You can call me any day, anytime
You know I'ma answer
I won't let you, I won't let you down, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you want more
And I can't blame you for
Askin' me for something you deserve (You deserve it)

[Chorus]
You're special, yeah
Yo-yo-you're special
I said, girl, I said, you're special
I said, you're special

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

On “You’re Special,” NF raps about his now-wife, Bridgette Doremus, who is very special to him. In a Youtube Q&A, Bridgette described how the relationship started between the two.

I have a really great guy friend who lives out in LA I had an after launch party where he had a couple different acts come outperform and I wasn’t going to go last minute decided I wanted to be there for him. I was like he was about to leave.

I was like think you forgot your red ball and he was like oh yeah so then we got to talking things got deep fast he asked me if I was married and I laughed him and said no and asked if he was married he said no and then he asked me if he could give me his phone number and I thought you know it was doing like a typical guy thing like wanting me to contact him.

I was just trying to give you my number so in case you thought I was weird fit you wouldn’t have to talk to me so after that we talked every day for over a month and he asked me on phone did well first he asked me on a phone date the next day we had a great time.

This song was first previewed on social media before the release of his Perception album. Find the snippet here:
