I been bad, bad as any other

But I don't wanna be bad no more

And I been guilty, cheatin' on my lovers

But I don't wanna mess around no more



Because I finally found a lady that means everything

I promise I will never break her heart

This time I'll be committed and that's what I'll be

I found my angel, I found my star



Ya know you're truly something special

And I'll keep you right here

In my heart, baby

And you know I'm sincere

And I'll keep you right here

In my heart, baby

Truly Something Special

Babyface's 'Truly Something Special' stands as a quintessential example of his mid-1980s R&B and pop sensibilities. Recorded during a prolific period where he frequently wrote and produced for himself and other artists, the track showcases his signature smooth vocal delivery and lush, soulful arrangements. As a solo effort, it highlights his ability to craft intimate ballads that blend romantic themes with a polished production style characteristic of the era. The song reflects the broader landscape of 80s soul music, where heartfelt melodies and sophisticated harmonies defined the genre's evolution. It remains a testament to his enduring influence on contemporary R&B and his mastery of creating timeless recordings that prioritize emotional resonance over fleeting trends.
