Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing my collar, damn it's fly
Every guy that passes by
Look at her, look at her oh
And you say that it's not right
But where does he think you are tonight
Does he know you're nasty inside
Look at her, look at her oh
If you want me take me home and let me use you
I know he doesn't satisfy you like I do
And does she know that there's nobody quite like you
So let me tell you all the things he never told you
I got these feelings for you
And I can't help myself no more
Can't fight these feelings for you
No I can't help myself no more
I, I, I
You and me let's go all night
Going so high, we fuck the sky
Come with me now, fuck that guy
Look at her, look at her oh
Now you flash that sexy smile
And tell me I gotta wait a while
And it makes me lose my mind
Look at her, look at her oh
If you want me take me home and let me use you
I know he doesn't satisfy you like I do
And does he know that there's nobody quite like you
So let me tell you all the things he never told you
Yeah
I got these feelings for you
And I can't help myself no more
Can't fight these feelings for you
No I can't help myself no more
I, I, I
Can't help myself no more
I, I, I
No I can't wait much longer
It needs to happen now
'Cause I can't spend the rest of my life chasing you around
I want to get much closer
You need to tell me how
Baby, how, how
Because I
I got these feelings for you
And I can't help myself no more
Can't fight these feelings for you
No I can't help myself no more
I got these feelings for you
I got this feeling for you, got this feeling for you
Can't fight these feelings for you
No I can't help myself no more
I, I, I
The song "The Feeling" by A-Bay Area Funk is a seductive R&B tune that speaks to the desire for passion and intimacy with someone who is already in a relationship. The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and desperation for the person of interest to leave their significant other and be with the singer instead. The chorus repeats the line "I got these feelings for you, and I can't help myself no more," emphasizing the intensity of the attraction and the singer's inability to resist it.
The imagery used in the song is quite explicit, with references to sexual acts and substance use, suggesting a hedonistic and wild lifestyle. The repeated line "look at her, look at her oh" could be interpreted as a commentary on societal expectations placed on women to be desirable and sexually available, further highlighting the objectification present throughout the song. Despite the potentially problematic nature of the lyrics, the groovy funk instrumentation and soulful vocals make for an enjoyable listening experience.

Man, as a nerdy white dude, this shit has some strong Office Space energy. I remember in my last job rewriting the lyrics to 'it was a good day' and rapping them to my coworkers after they cancelled an unnecessary meeting. This shit touches my soul.
