[Chorus: JS, Ronald Isley]
You're my special (Oh), gift (Yeah)
I have searched everywhere, nothing else can compare (Oh), gift (Oh)
You're my special (Well, well, well), gift (No)
I have searched everywhere, nothing else can compare (Ooh baby), gift (Woo)

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley, JS]
As the lights on the tree set the mood on Christmas Eve
(I'm anticipating) Oh girl, you know, got me waiting
Wrapped in such a pretty bow, what's inside, I gotta know
I can hardly sleep, baby 'cause I know that's something there for me

[Chorus: JS, Ronald Isley]
You're my special (Oh, you're so special), gift (Oh, oh)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare
(Every, every, every), gift (Everywhere)
You're my special (Oh, you're special), gift (I know)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare (Nothing), gift (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley, JS]
I hear sleigh bells ringing, in the streets everybody's singing
(Sharing the love, sharing the joy) Well, well, well
(If they only knew) What I'm dreaming of
As I look under the tree, I know there's something there for me
Girl, I need it, gotta have it, you know I want it, babe
[Bridge: Ronald Isley]
As I sit here by the fire (Oh, I know)
I know that you're my heart's desire (Oh)
And the very thought of you, girl (Oh, you know)
Seems to make my dreams come true (Oh)
Every night and day I wait (Well, well, well)
Hoping soon I'll see your face
Girl, I want you, baby, oh, I need you, babe
Ooh, gotta have you, babe

[Outro: JS, Ronald Isley]
You're my special (Oh, you're special, girl), gift
(Oh, I'm glad you gave it to me, baby)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare
(You know, oh, I don't need to search no more, girl), gift
You're my special, gift (Ooh, you got it, baby)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare
(Thank you from me, baby), gift
(Lay down under the tree, baby)
You're my special (Oh, you're so special), gift (Oh)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare
(Got what I want, got what I need), gift (Got what I need)
You're my special (Yeah), gift
(I know you know, I know)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare (Ooh-ooh, baby), gift
(Baby, baby, baby)
You're my special (Well), gift (Oh)
I have searched everywhere nothing else can compare
(See, I've been all over the world), gift
