I Got the Feelin’ Lyrics

Uh huh, uh uh
I got the feeling
Baby, baby
I got the feeling

You don't know what you do to me
People are heavy, down in misery

Hey, yeah, all right, OW
Hey, hey, ah, good Lord

I got the feeling, all right

Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby

I got the feeling, baby
Baby, sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
My heart, I'm around the town
I'm level with the ground, baby
I said level with the ground

Well, baby, you treat me
You treat me bad, AH
No, no, I know
Know you don't mean it now
Sometimes I roam
But I'll be coming back home
Sometimes I seem to be fly
I just don't want you to say, "Bye, bye"

Hey, baby, uh uh uh uh...
Waaah, baby
I got that feeling, baby, can't help it
All right

Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby

Come on now
Come on now
Oh, oh, oh oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
