That track won a Grammy Award and became an international 40 hit in many countries while also being featured in several films. Later singles with significant airplay include "You All Dat", "Move It Like This", and "Best Years of Our Lives" among others. Yet their commercial fortunes came in fits and starts after the 2002 album 'Move It Like This'. While barely releasing any more material, they toured often during the past decade, finally becoming a dormant project over the past several years as its members pursued other endeavors. This changed in October 2015 when a rejuvenated group released the album 'Ride With Me'.

Hooked On A Feelin'
Baha Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me
Your lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
You just keep me thirsty
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I've got it bad for you, darling
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 boy
Yeah, you turn me on
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with 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
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling
The Baha Men's "Hooked on a Feeling" is a song about a man who has fallen deeply in love with a girl and is unable to control the feelings of love she elicited in him. He recognizes that she may not understand the depth of his emotions, but nonetheless, he finds himself desperately addicted to the feeling she provides him. The song is a testament to the power of love and its ability to capture the hearts and minds of two individuals.
The lyrics speak of the woman's lips, which are as sweet as candy, and her ability to make the singer addicted and thirsty for more. He recognizes that he is "hooked on a feeling" and "high on believing" that she is in love with him as well. He has become completely infatuated with her and finds himself in a state of bliss whenever she is around. This is evident when he sings, "When you hold me in your arms so tight, you let me know everything's all right." The love he feels for her is all-consuming, and he has no desire, nor does he see the need for a cure.
The Baha Men's "Hooked on a Feeling" is a song that has the perfect blend of pop, rock, and soul. It was originally recorded in 1968 by B.J. Thomas, who had a hit with the song. In 1995, the Swedish band Blue Suede recorded the song with an updated sound, and it became a big hit in Canada and Europe. It was from this version that the Baha Men took inspiration and created their own rendition of the song in 1998.

I can't stop this feeling
I am unable to control the emotions that I'm experiencing
Deep inside of me
These emotions are coming from within and are quite intense
Girl, you just don't realize
The person that I am addressing isn't aware of the effect that they are having on me
What you do to me
Their actions are causing me to feel this way
Your lips are sweet as candy
I find your physical appearance and mannerisms alluring
The taste stays on my mind
The impression you've made has lingered with me
You just keep me thirsty
I desire more of what you have to offer
For another cup of wine
I want to experience this feeling further
When you hold me
The comfort of your embrace
In your arms so tight
Feels like the world is a better place
You let me know
Your actions convey a message
Everything's all right
Things are good in my world when you're around
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm fixated on this sentiment
I'm high on believing
I am ecstatic in my belief of a mutual attraction
That you're in love with me
I'm convinced that you share these same feelings
I've got it bad for you, darling
I am in deep admiration of you
But I don't need a cure
I don't want to fix this condition
I'll just stay addicted
I'm content in my dependence of you
And hope I can endure
I hope this feeling lasts
All the good love
The affection that we share
When we're all alone
In intimate moments
Keep it up boy
Continue to be a positive presence in my life
Yeah, you turn me on
You excite me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling
I remain fixated on this emotional state

My dad has this song on a CD made for him by a friend, and we never knew who sung it as there was no information on wikipedia. At last, after 11 years thanks to Shazam I know it is by the Baha Men. This is my favorite version of the song and I think it is far superior to the Blue Swede version, and gives the B.J. Thomas version a run for its money. I have added the information to the wikipedia page for this song so it can get the recognition it deserves.

I love BAHAMEN.
I knew BAHAMEN from the song "Love really hurts"(my favorite song).
other favorite songs : Kokomo, Gotta move on, Beach Baby, that's the way I get down,
follow the sun, I like what I like,
etc.etc. But I can't listen to these songs because of that are blocked by this country.
