From the recording Dangerous Man
I don’t have money saved for when it’s raining
The clothes I own were stylish years ago
No fancy car is parked out in my driveway
But I don’t mind, ‘cause there is one thing I know…
(CHORUS)
I’ve got a very SPECIAL LADY
This one sure knows how to treat me right
She lifts me up and sends my spirit flying
She makes me feel like I own the world tonight
(And) When I can’t sleep, she’s right here—she soothes me
When I play the clown, she laughs just like a child
Anytime I need her, I reach out to her
With just a glance, she can drive a sane man wild!
(CHORUS)
I’ve got a very SPECIAL LADY
This one sure knows how to treat me right
She lifts me up and sends my spirit flying
She makes me feel like I own the world tonight
Before she came along, my life was empty
Like a weathered sign with the message worn away
Like a book without the most important pages
Rewritten now with the love she brings my way (Oh,)
(CHORUS)
I’ve got a very SPECIAL LADY
This one sure knows how to treat me right
She lifts me up and sends my spirit flying
She makes me feel like the world is mine tonight
