Hooked On A Feeling
B.J.トーマス Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me

When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

I, I'm hooked on a feeling
High on believing
That you're in love with me

Your lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty for
Another cup of wine

I got it bad for you, girl
But I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted and hope I can endure

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up, girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I, I'm hooked on a feeling
High on believing
That you're in love with me

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up, girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I, I'm hooked on a feeling




I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

This was my song to my wife when we met back in 1968 sadly she passed in 21,brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. She was my soul mate. Love you babe.

@albertmarnell9976

I understand. The song brings tears to my eyes too. Life is a series of losses. Nothing and no one lasts. How we cope with pain in a hostile, indifferent world is random. And then we end.

I'm sorry for whatever it is that you feel. I know what loss and pain is. I was 13 in 1968 and would get goose bumps from the emotion in this song.

I get it. Very few people have a real soul mate.

@rickcarpenter6605

@@albertmarnell9976 Thanks for that, we met at a school dance,she was 13 and I was 15,very mature for her age. Within a few months I knew she was put on this earth to be with me till death do us part. Always by my side through good and bad,together for 53 years 48 of those we were married. Soul mates for sure!!

@bemore1134

Live a good life my friend. She's waiting for you.
