Paul Williams Special To Me lyrics

Caught up in your wheelin'
Dealin' you've got no time left for simple feelin'
I thought I knew you but I didn't know you at all

Trapped inside your world of worry
You miss so much when you always hurry
Well, slow down, baby, you'll only get hurt if you fall

Well, you told me one time that you'd be somebody
That you weren't workin' just to survive
But you're workin' so hard that
You don't even know you're alive

Workin' so hard to be somebody special
Not working just to survive
Well, you're special to me, babe

But what I don't see, babe, is
Where you go once you arrive
Where we go once we arrive

Damn all evil that takes possession

Until your pipe dreams become obsessions
They scare me baby and we should have nothing to fear

I'm no child but I can't help wonder it seems like
Some kind of spell you're under
You're listenin', baby but somehow you don't really hear

Well, you told me one time that you'd be somebody
That you weren't workin' just to survive
But you're workin' so hard
That you don't even know you're alive

Workin' so hard to be somebody special
Not working just to survive
Well, you're special to me, babe

But what I don't see, babe, is
Where you go once you arrive
Where we go once we arrive
