Do You Feel The Way I Do
Rahsaan Patterson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I want to tell you
From the bottom of my heart
I wanna say, I adore you
Gotta let you know that I
am truly infatuated
'Cause somehow I don't think you know
Just how deep my love goes
Every now and then I get the urge to
Call you up and say how much I love you
But you never have the time
Tell me why, Baby do you
Do you feel the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
I got a lot of love I want to give
Believe when I tell you that my heart's sincere
Do you fell the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya,
Do you feel the way I do
This feeling that I feel
Is indeed passion
With a lifetime guarantee
To never go out of fashion
'Cause baby you're my style
And I'm so glad I found you
But you just gotta let me know
Just how deep your love goes
Every now and then I get the urge to
Cuddle up and wrap my arms around you
But you won't let me inside
I don't know why, baby do you
Do you feel the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
I got a lot of love I want to give
Believe when I tell you that my heart's sincere
Do you fell the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya,
Do you feel the way I do
(I can make you) Happy if you allow me to
(Love you like I) Feel you deserved to be loved
(Now is the time) Girl make up your mind Baby decide
('Cause I gotta know) If you feel the way I do
Do you feel the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
I got a lot of love I want to give
Believe when I tell you that my heart's sincere
Do you fell the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya,
Do you feel the way I do
Do you feel the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
I got a lot of love I want to give
Believe when I tell you that my heart's sincere
Do you fell the way I do
I wish you felt the same way too
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya,
Do you feel the way I do
In “Do You Feel The Way I Do,” Rahsaan Patterson expresses his deep love for someone who may not feel the same way. The opening lines already set the mood of the song as Patterson sings about wanting to share his feelings with the person he adores. He wants to express the depth of his love, but he's not sure if his affections are returned. Later in the track, he talks about his desire to cuddle up with the person and wrap his arms around them, but he's not given the chance to do so.
Patterson's lyrics convey a simple message: he loves someone deeply and wishes that they would feel the same way too. The urgency of this desire is expressed in the chorus that repeats the line, “Do you feel the way I do?” several times, as if to emphasize the depth of his feeling. He wants the person to know that his love is sincere and that he is willing to make them happy if given the chance. The song is an emotional take on the classic dilemma of unrequited love, with Patterson hoping that his feelings will be reciprocated.
