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
