Lyrics
Friends are mystified
But it don't matter to me
But I can't take the credit, no no
For what they see
I tell 'em, right away
It's you
It's you
Great or small
I owe it all to you and nothing else
I'd just be lying to myself
You
It's you
Persuaded me so gently
You
It's you
You brought alive
What I thought had died
They think I have some power
Or a secret hidden inside
Like a puzzle and a rhyme
At the same time
To get the answer they've got to go find you
It's you
The specializer is who they want to see
You
'Cause none of the credit belongs to me
You, sweet inspiration
So grateful for how you brought me
You, time and patience
'Cause only you could have taught me
You, sweet inspiration
Hey hey, you brought alive, what I thought had died
You, time and patience
The credit is yours, for me all no more
You, sweet inspiration
Sweetest soul (thank you baby)
I owe it all to you (thank you baby)
You, time and patience
I owe it all, all to you
You, sweet inspiration
Oh the specializer is who, who they wanna see
You, time and patience
I just wanna thank you, all the way
