You're Special
NF Lyrics

Yeah, you, baby, you
Addressing the listener, acknowledging their presence

You're something special
Admiration for the listener and their unique qualities

Baby, I know
Acknowledging an understanding of the listener's thoughts and feelings

I know what you're thinkin'
Claiming to understand the listener's thoughts and feelings

Maybe, maybe I'm wasting your time
Expressing self-doubt and concern for wasting the listener's time

But I promise, but I promise
Making a promise to the listener

I know that I go back and forth
Acknowledging a tendency to be indecisive

But I won't let you, I won't let you, I won't let you down
Promising not to disappoint the listener

I meant it when I told you I would change
Affirming a previous promise to the listener

Meant it when I told you I would stay
Affirming a previous promise to the listener

Sick of talkin' on the phone, babe
Expressing a desire for more in-person time with the listener

Time to pack your car and come to my state
Suggesting the listener visit the artist in their location

Come to my place, look at my face, oh, yeah
Inviting the listener to the singer's personal space

You know I ain't playin'
Assuring the listener of the singer's seriousness

I'll send you some money, yeah, hop in the car
Offering support to the listener for their travel

And get on the road, here we go
Encouraging the listener to make progress towards visiting

Baby, I can't lie
Admitting to vulnerability

I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit scared right now, girl, girl, yeah
Expressing fear or hesitation about the listener's response to the invitation

You said you want more
Referencing a conversation about the listener's desire for more

And I can't blame you for
Sympathizing with the listener's wants and needs

Askin' me what's somethin' you deserve
Asking for something the listener deserves

You're special
Reiterating the listener's unique qualities

Yo-yo-you're special
Repeating the above statement for emphasis

Oh yeah, you're special
Continuing to emphasize the listener's unique qualities

Yeah, I knew it, you was my type
Expressing attraction to the listener

We ain't gotta skip to the highlight
Suggesting that building a relationship can take time

You're the highlight, girl, of my life (woo)
Expressing the listener's importance to the singer

Both of us have got a past, but it's alright
Acknowledging that both the artist and listener have a history

All night car rides
Envisioning sharing long car rides together

Drivin' through the city, yeah, the view's fantastic
Imagining enjoying the city view together

It's automatic, could see you smile, gotta have it
Implying that being around the listener makes the singer happy

She got me thinkin' maybe I'ma have to put a ring on it, girl
Jokingly referring to the possibility of marriage

I ain't never been a romantic, but I can romance ya'
Acknowledging a lack of romantic experience, but willingness to try

Get your shoes on, baby, I am not asking
Encouraging the listener to take action towards being together

I'm 'bout to take you out to dinner, put the black dress on
Suggesting going on a date together

Got the room gaspin', how did this happen?
Describing a captivating moment

I don't even know
Expressing surprise or disbelief

She's the type to sing my words at the show
Describing the listener's support for the singer's music

She's the type to pick me up when I'm low
Describing the listener's emotional support

And remind me she got my back, no matter what
Reiterating the listener's supportive nature

Yeah, I think she hearin' me now
Believing the listener hears and understands the artist

Say what I think, so I'm thinkin' out loud
Thinking aloud and speaking openly with the listener

I need a woman I know I can trust, and I got one
Describing the importance of trust in a relationship and implying the listener's trustworthiness

I guess you can say that she down
Acknowledging the listener's willingness to be with the artist

Callin' my phone, and she told me she proud
Referencing the listener showing support and encouragement

She said my name and I like how that sounds, oh, yeah
Appreciating the listener's voice and how they say the artist's name

I like how this sounds
Expressing approval of the current situation

(Baby, I, yeah)
Vocalizing a positive feeling

Baby, don't make me lose myself
Describing the listener's importance to the singer

I need somebody I know I can trust (yeah)
Reiterating the importance of trust in a relationship

I mean, I'm being honest
Acknowledging honesty and openness in communication

I ain't ever met a girl like you (no)
Expressing how the listener is different from others the artist has met

Baby, you can call me
Offering the listener support and an open line of communication

You can call me anytime
Reiterating the above statement

You can call me any day, anytime
Making it explicitly clear that the listener can reach out whenever they desire

You know I'ma answer
Assuring the listener that the artist will respond to their communication

I won't let you, I won't let you down, yeah
Reiterating a promise to the listener

You said you want more
Referencing a conversation about the listener's desire for more

And I can't blame you for
Sympathizing with the listener's wants and needs

Askin' me for somethin' you deserve (You deserve it)
Expressing that the listener deserves more and that it's okay to ask for it

You're special, yeah
