Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you get the feels (yeah)
Boy I, boy I, boy I know
Uh, I'm so curious
'Bout you boy, wanna keep it cool
But I know, every time you move
Got me frozen I
Get so shy
It's obvious (yeah, yeah)
Catchin' feels like butterflies
If I say what's on my mind
Would I hit bullseye? (Woo)
Shoot, I'm ready, aim and fire (fire)
Baby I (whoa)
Feel like Cupid's alive
Alive tonight
Yeah, tonight
If your heart beats the same way, let me know (yeah, let me know)
'Cause I'm boom, boom, boom from head to toe and I (from head to toe)
I know love, it is such a funny thing
A mystery allure
Gotta get to know you more
'Cause I, I can feel a real connection
A supernatural attraction-ah
I got the feels for you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You have stolen my heart, oh yeah
Never let it go, oh, oh, no

Lightning straight to my heart, oh yeah

Yeah, I got all the feels for ya
Boy I, boy I, boy I know

Sway in the moonlight, dance in the dark
I, I know that I caught your eye (that's right)
Are we on the same vibe? (Same vibe)
I wonder what's on your mind
'Cause you got me good and I wanna be your boo
If it's dumb, well, I wanna be a fool
Underneath the neon lights, baby
Electricity tonight, baby

A mystery allure
Gotta get to know you more
