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