Ooh
Ooh-ooh

My mama always told me
You're gonna be somebody
There's never been someone like you
I never should've listened
But I was just a kid then
Took me a while to find the truth

And everybody else is just like
Everybody else is just like
Everybody else is just like you
You're like everybody else who tries like
Everybody else who cries like
Everybody else who dies like you

You're not special
Ooh
You're not special
Ooh

Thrown out and had the door shut
Kicked down but I got back up
It happens a million times each day
I don't ever need your heroes
They're ordinary people
They'll only let you down
I love the hard way, always the hard way

And everybody else is just like
Everybody else is just like
Everybody else is just like you
You're like everybody else who tries like
Everybody else who cries like
Everybody else who dies like you

You're not special
Ooh
You're not special
Ooh
I'm not special
Ooh
We're not special
Ooh

Won't you lie to me?
Please just lie to me
Someone lie to me
'Cause I love the hard way, always the hard way
My mama always told me
You're gonna be somebody
There's never been someone like you

Everybody else is just like
Everybody else is just like
Everybody else is just like you
You're like everybody else who tries like
Everybody else who cries like
Everybody else who dies like you

You're not special
(Everybody else is just like)
Ooh
(Everybody else is just like)
You're not special
(Everybody else is just like you)
Ooh
I'm not special
(Everybody else who tries like)
Ooh
(Everybody else who cries like)
We're not special
(Everybody else who dies like you)
Ooh
No one's special
