Feel Good
Bad/Love Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow down she said to me
Watch your mouth
Do you remember a time when the words were so dry
Did you even care what you said?
You need to slow down
I can see you smiling back this time
You're out of your mind
I should leave you, then I'd truly shine

You're out of your mind
I just wanna feel good
Yeah. Yeah-Yeah
When you're tied to the woman and you got a lotta money
Yeah. Yeah-yeah
It's time for me to close this down
She said wait for me
Are you for real girl?
Do you remember a time when the words were so dry
Did you even give a shit about me?
You need to slow down
I can see you smiling back this time
You're out of your mind
I should leave you, then I'd truly shine
You're out of your mind
I just wanna feel good
Yeah. Yeah-Yeah
When you're tied to the woman and you got a lotta money
Yeah. Yeah-yeah
It's time for me to close this down
I can see you smiling back this time
You're out of your mind
I should leave you, then I'd truly shine
I just wanna feel good
When you're tied to the woman and you got a lotta money
It's time for me to close this down.
Yeah. Yeah-yeah
When you're tied to the woman and you got a lotta money
Yeah. Yeah-yeah

It's time for me to close this down
It's time for me to close this down
