Feeling Down
A J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling down today
I will try another day
Feeling down today
I'm not in the mood for games

I'm feeling down today
I will try another day
Feeling down today
I hope I'm not getting in your way

I'm for real, today is not my day
Girlfriend broke my heart and my dog passed away
Usually I can handle all the bad news
But today I'm not in the right mood

Back to the girlfriend that I just mentioned
She was always looking for all that attention
I will tell you how we broke up (broke up)
I will tell you how she gave up (here we go)

Ik geef je kus, maar ik krijg geen zoen
Waar ga je nu heen, waar ga je naar toe? (waar ga je naar toe?)
Je bent weggegaan zonder het uit te praten.
It is what it is, we zullen het laten (we zullen het laten)

Ik had het liever nog een tweede kans gegeven
Zonder jou kan ik niet leven
Maar ik om er wel weer bovenop
En voor je het weet, sta ik aan de top

I'm feeling down today (today)
I will try another day (another day)
Feeling down today (today)
I'm not in the mood for games (for games)

I'm feeling down today (today)
I will try another day (another day)
Feeling down today (today)
I hope I'm not getting in your way (in your way)

(In your way)
(In your way, ooh)
(Not today, not today)
(Feeling it today, ooh)

(In your way)
(I hope, I'm in your way, ooh)




(Not today)
(Not feeling it today, ooh)
