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
