You know you had me With your sensuous charm Yet you looked so alarmed As I walked on by In awesome wonder You had to know why I did not respond to carry on [Chorus] Love me in a special way What more can I say Love me now Love me in a special way What more can I say Love me now (love me now) 'Cause I'm special Not the average kind Who'd accept any line That sounds good So reach into your chain of thoughts Try to find something new Because what worked for you so well before For me it just won't do.
