Lyrics
I am spe-cial! I am spe-cial!
You?re spe-cial, too! You?re spe-cial, too!
I am spe-cial! I am spe-cial!
You?re spe-cial, too! You?re spe-cial, too!
No one walks the way I walk
No one talks the way I talk
No one looks the way I do,
I'm sure these things are true
I?m glad I?m diff-?rent,
Aren?t you glad you?re diff-?rent too?
I?m glad I?m diff-?rent,
Aren?t you glad you?re diff-?rent too?
