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
