He's Got That Something Special
George Strait · Twang [2009]
I used to be the one who
She was always holding onto
Like a fool I told her way too tight
He was glad to see me let go
He's all I see now in her eyes
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
Never knew how good I had it
Never do till you don't have it
I'd give anything to have her back
It hurts me to admit that
He's got what I never knew I had
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She was always holding onto
Like a fool I told her way too tight
He was glad to see me let go
He's all I see now in her eyes
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
Never knew how good I had it
Never do till you don't have it
I'd give anything to have her back
It hurts me to admit that
He's got what I never knew I had
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
