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
