(harry ray, al goodman and l. walter)
you must be a special lady
(billy, you sing the first verse)
[come on, herb, sing, sing it, man]
and a very exciting girl
(al, bring that bass out, man)
[hey man, i'll bring it out a little bit more)
you gotta be a special lady
(let's get down once more, come on)
'cause you got me sittin' on top of the world
sittin' on top of the world
somehow i knew it would be you
to change my gray skies to blue
and it was strange when you called my name
ever since that day i haven't been the same, ooh
before i met you, my sun didn't want to shine
then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
pop (pop) went the reason in my mind
a sweet special lady
and a very exciting girl (ooh, so exciting)
you gotta be a special lady (what a lady)
'cause you got me sittin' on top of the world
sittin' on top of the world
i was like a song so out of key
then you came and gave my soul a melody
thanks to you, for pullin' me through
i've always lost but now i win with you
before i met you, my sun didn't want to shine
then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
pop (pop) went the reason in my mind
(you must be a special lady) you're a lady
(and a very exciting girl) so exciting, woo
(you gotta be a special lady) you're a lady
('cause you got me sittin' on top of the world)
oh, sittin' on top of the world
you're a lady
(sittin' on top of the world)
(sittin' on top of the world)
before i met you, my sun didn't want to shine
then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
pop (pop) went the reason in my mind |
