## Lyrics

**[Intro: Lizzo]**

(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

Special

**[Verse 1: SZA]**

Woke up this morning to somebody judging me

No surprise they judging me, don't know who I'm 'posed to be

I'm just acting up, I'm pressed as fuck, and never saying sorry

Found it in the end, I can only do it for me

You call it sensitive, and I call it superpower

You just like empathy, 'cause you think it gives you power

All I know is only God can judge me

I don't hide my heart, I wear it on me

**[Pre-Chorus: Lizzo, SZA]**

I'm used to feelin' alone, oh (Alone)

So, I thought that I'd let you know<

**[Chorus: Lizzo, SZA]**

In case nobody told you today

You're special

In case nobody made you believe (Nobody, no, no)

You're special

Well, I will always love you the same

You're special

I'm so glad that you're still with us (So glad, so glad, so glad)

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (You're perfect)

**[Interlude: Lizzo, SZA]**

Special (Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

**[Verse 2: Lizzo]**

Could you imagine a world where everybody's the same

And you could cancel a girl 'cause she just wanted to change?

How could you throw fuckin' stones if you ain't been through her pain?

That's why we feel so alone, that's why we feel so much shame, hm

**[Pre-Chorus: Lizzo, SZA]**

I'm used to feeling alone, so

I thought that I'd let you know, oh

**[Chorus: Lizzo, SZA]**

In case nobody told you today (I wait around for you)

You're special

In case nobody made you believe (Nobody made you believe)

You're special

Well, I will always love you the same (I'll always love you)

You're special

I'm so glad that you're still with us

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (Perfect)

**[Bridge: Lizzo, SZA]**

I know that I'm not alone, oh (No, you're not alone)

So I thought that I'd let you know

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo)

**[Chorus: Lizzo, SZA]**

In case nobody told you today (Nobody told you, nobody)

You're special (Yeah)

In case nobody made you believe (Woah, oh)

You're special (Yeah)

Well, I will always love you the same (I'll always love you, I'll always love you)

You're special

I'm so glad that you're still with us (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)

**[Outro: Lizzo, SZA]**

Special

You are, you are, you are, so

Special

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Hey
