Baby, for every time that you felt love
Was taken for granted and I didn't care
Well, these are just a few words to let you know how I feel
Hey, yeah, let me be the first to let you know

Oh, I had an awful dream
That you were needing someone else's
Love to take the place of mine

So I over came the distance
That challenged my persistence
I let my ego go and drowned my pride
And you ask why

You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

Oh, such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

One more thing I need to say
Is that I need you every day
It's not the same 'til you come back to me

Girl, I've loved you from conception
So if you follow my direction
I'll lead you where you always need to be
Right next to me, oh

You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

Oh, such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
Let me be the first to let you know

Let me be the first to let you know
I appreciate the things you do for me
When you're loving me at night

Let me be the first to let it show
I'd show the way to go
'Cuz every waking move is, oh, so right, right

You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
But I wanna be the first one to let you know

Oh, such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
Well, let me be the first to let you know

Such a special lady
Haven't told you lately
First to let you know

Oh, such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
Let me be the first to let you know

Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
First to let you know
Let me be the first to let you know
