Love Never Felt So Good (Original Version) Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Baby, love never felt so good
And I'd doubt if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
Oh, baby, love never felt so fine
And I’d doubt if it's never mine
Not like you hold me, hold me
[Refrain]
And the night is gonna be just fine
Gotta fly, gotta see
I can't wait, I can't take it
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, every time I love you
In and out my life, in, out, baby
Tell me, if you really love me
It's in and out my life, in, out, baby
So baby, yes, love never felt so good
[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, love never felt so fine
And I’d doubt if it's ever mine
Not like you hold me, hold me
Oh, baby, love never felt so good
And I’d doubt if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
[Refrain 2]
In the night through the thick and thin
Gotta fly, gotta see, can't believe
I can't take it
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, every time I love you
It’s in and out my life, in, out, baby
Tell me, if you really love me
It's in and out my life, driving me crazy
Baby, love never felt so good (Oh, good, uh-huh, uh-huh, mmm)
[Verse 3]
Oh, baby, love never felt so fine
And I’d doubt if it was mine, all mine
Not like you hold me, hold me
Oh, baby, love never felt so good, so good
And I’d doubt if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
[Refrain 3]
And the nights, that feels good
Gotta fly, gotta see
Can't believe
I can't take it
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Baby, love never felt so good
And I'd doubt if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
Oh, baby, love never felt so fine
And I’d doubt if it's never mine
Not like you hold me, hold me
[Refrain]
And the night is gonna be just fine
Gotta fly, gotta see
I can't wait, I can't take it
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, every time I love you
In and out my life, in, out, baby
Tell me, if you really love me
It's in and out my life, in, out, baby
So baby, yes, love never felt so good
[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, love never felt so fine
And I’d doubt if it's ever mine
Not like you hold me, hold me
Oh, baby, love never felt so good
And I’d doubt if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
In the night through the thick and thin
Gotta fly, gotta see, can't believe
I can't take it
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, every time I love you
It’s in and out my life, in, out, baby
Tell me, if you really love me
It's in and out my life, driving me crazy
Baby, love never felt so good (Oh, good, uh-huh, uh-huh, mmm)
[Verse 3]
Oh, baby, love never felt so fine
And I’d doubt if it was mine, all mine
Not like you hold me, hold me
Oh, baby, love never felt so good, so good
And I’d doubt if it ever could
Not like you hold me, hold me
[Refrain 3]
And the nights, that feels good
Gotta fly, gotta see
Can't believe
I can't take it
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, every time I love you
It's in and out my life, in, out, baby
Tell me if you really love me
It's in and out my life, driving me crazy
'Cause baby, love never felt so good
[Outro]
Got what you got, so good
Oh it never felt so good
Never felt so good
Don't you know, it never felt so good
Never felt so good (Yeah, yeah)
It never felt so good
Never felt so good (Yeah)
Alright, that's fine
That's it
'Cause baby, every time I love you
It's in and out my life, in, out, baby
Tell me if you really love me
It's in and out my life, driving me crazy
'Cause baby, love never felt so good
[Outro]
Got what you got, so good
Oh it never felt so good
Never felt so good
Don't you know, it never felt so good
Never felt so good (Yeah, yeah)
It never felt so good
Never felt so good (Yeah)
Alright, that's fine

About
Genius Annotation
This is the original version of “Love Never Felt So Good” that was recorded in 1983.
- First worked on as a demo, Michael Jackson co-produced the song during a 1983 recording session with Anka. The original version only featured Jackson’s vocals, finger snaps, and a piano, played by Anka. In 1984, Anka sent the song to Johnny Mathis, who recorded a new version of the song with revised lyrics by Anka and Kathleen Wakefield. Mathis' version made it on his 1984 album, A Special Part of Me. In 2006, Jackson’s demo leaked online. During the 2013-2014 recording sessions for the Xscape album, the song was given a revision as a disco-sounding track. The first version, which only features Michael, was produced by John McClain and Giorgio Tuinfort and was featured as the first track on the standard version of Xscape. The second version, featured as the last track on the deluxe version of the album, was co-produced by Timbaland and J-Roc and featured Timberlake in duet vocals with Jackson. While producing Timberlake’s duet version, Timbaland sampled the percussion and breaths from Jackson’s 1979 song “Workin' Day and Night”.
