You Say - Howard Jones

It’s a cold world, it’s a cruel world

When you haven’t got no one to love

And all that poison builds up in your heart

Like a cancer killing a dove

You gotta stop that life turning upside down

You gotta find someone to take care of

I say, you’re special

No one’s ever felt this way

Life is so lonely

When you won’t decide to stay

Here comes the thrill man but don’t turn around

Like a spoke turning on the wheel

And it comes and it goes and nobody knows

If it’s fake or if it’s for real

When you find someone with a light in their eyes

And your heart you know they will steal

You Say, I’m special

No one’s ever felt this way

Life is so lonely

When you won’t decide to stay

And when it comes to the end of day

And you lie sleeping here next to me

I look to you, and softly say

Am I dreaming or are you really there?

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep

The face around a fall

You Say, I’m special

No one’s ever felt this way

Life is so lonely

When you won’t decide to stay

You Say, you’re special

No one’s ever felt this way

Life is so lonely

When you won’t decide to stay
