People smile at me and ask me what it is
That makes them want to be just like I am
So I just point to you and tell them, yes it's true
I'm no special one, I'm just one man
It's because of you
People smile at me and they say, "What a lucky guy"
Yeah, it's because of you
I can raise my hands and reply and say, "I'm happy because of you"
Now people can't believe, that my life used to be
Something that no one had any use for
I'd stay at home each night, never shine the light
And I thank you, it will never be like before
It's because of you
People point to me and say "I like what that boy's got"
And because of you
I confess I don't have a lot but what I have is because of you
Oh oh no no no no no no no no no oh
I'm gonna have it because of you, Lord
Yeah because of you
I'm gonna have it because of you
Now people smile at me and ask me what it is
That makes them want to be just like I am
So I just point to you and tell them, yes it's true
I'm no special one, I'm just one man
It's because of you
People smile at me and they say, "Yeah, what a lucky guy"
It's because of you
I can raise my hands to the sky and say, "I'm only happy because of you"
Oh yeah because of you, because of you, you, you, you
