lyrics

Special About Her
CHORUS What’s so special about her?
Well now where should I start
Should I set up a matrix
Or should I make a flow chart
What’s so special about her
Let me count up the ways
But you’ll have to be patient
This could take a few days

1. Well she loves my love handles
And she loves my laugh lines
If I wear socks with sandals
She just shrugs and says “fine”
She really turns my propeller
She laughs at all my tall tales
And on my days in the doldrums
She puts the wind in my sails

2. I’m a little bit retro
Sometimes I’m full of hot air
Like when I talk about Woodstock
As If I’d really been there
She just smiles so sweetly
And takes it all in her stride
I’m one lucky old cowboy
To have her at my side
CHORUS
3. I’m a little bit flaky
Mister pie-in-the-sky
All talk and no action
She just lets it go by
I know her old boyfriends
Were better looking than me
But for her I’ve got something
No other woman can see

4. And when I go to my man-cave
To work some more on my book
And wake up around lunchtime
She just gives me that look
I’m her loveable loser
Without silver or gold
But I’ve got my own diamond
To have and to hold
CHORUS
