now i know it's hard to believe babe
how it can all be pretend
you think the love is won
but then it comes undone
and all you have are memories of pain
so now you won't fall again babe
with love you won't be concerned no
you say it hurts too much
ain't no one left to trust
your broken heart has nothing left to learn
life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special
now you can't keep running away babe
'cuz there ain't nowhere you could ever truly hide
would you rather live pretend
believin' you can't win
to end up up crying every single night
when will you open your eyes pretty baby
when will you let go of your oh so foolish pride
can't be afraid to fly
just take a chance and try
'cuz all we have is what we are inside
life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special
sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
i find the strength to be strong
i know tomorrow is a brand new day
so i refure to give up
i find a better way
some people tell me that i lost my mind
but i refuse to give up
so i won't waste my time
sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
yes i refuse to give up
sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
i find the strength to be strong
i know tomorrow is a brand new day
so i refure to give up
i find a better way
some people tell me that i lost my mind
but i refuse to give up
so i won't waste my time
sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
yes i refuse to give up
life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special
life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special
life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special
