Bounce Back
Alisha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody has heard the word "goodbye"
So what's the matter
You're not the first to cry
You just need a love that's strong
Need someone who can hold on
Better face your feelings
It's time to make another start
Bounce back
Into love
Once is not enough
Bounce back
Be tough
When the going's getting rough
Bounce back
Into love
Don't be giving up
Bounce back
'Cause it feels so good
(Feels so good)
You better bounce back
Bounce back
(Bounce back)
Life's a jungle
At night hearts are on the loose
Face to face, eye to eye
Who will make the first move
Once you've felt that magic touch
You can never get too much
Get back on your feet
'Cause this is not the end
If you want to feel that way again
Bounce back
Into love
Once is not enough
Bounce back
Be tough
When the going's getting rough
Bounce back
Into love
Don't be giving up
Bounce back
'Cause it feels so good
(Feels so good)
You better bounce back
Bounce back
(So good
So good
So good
Yeah
So good
So good
So good
Yeah)
You just need a love that's strong
Get back on your feet
'Cause this is not the end
If you want to feel that way again
Bounce back
Into love
Once is not enough
Bounce back
Be tough
When the going's getting rough
Bounce back
Into love
Don't be giving up
Bounce back
'Cause it feels so good
(Feels so good)
You better bounce back
Bounce back
Into love
Once is not enough
Bounce back
Be tough
Bounce back
Into love
Don't be giving up
Bounce back
'Cause it feels so good
(Bounce back)
Into love
Get back on your feet now, baby
(Bounce back)
Oooh, yeah
(Bounce back)
Into love
(Bounce back)
Get back on your feet now, baby
(Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back

Surprised this doesn't have a lot more views, in fact no version of this song has many views...This song was a monster dance hit back in '90. Just popped into my head tonight for whatever reason.
