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
'Cause 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
