When you're in my arms, darling
When you're in my arms, ooh

I got a feeling, feeling
Got me rockin' and a reelin'
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout your love buttercup
Your kind of love, can't get enough
You shake me up (shake me up), break me up (break me up)
Every time your lips meet mine (yeah)
I feel a pounding, pounding
Ooh, and I can't stand it, stand it

When you lock me in your embrace
And breathlessly, you kiss my face (yeah)
I get a strange sensation
Ooh, and I can't stand it, stand it

Ooh, I got a feeling, feeling
Got me rockin' and a reelin'
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout your love buttercup
Your kind of love, can't get enough

When you take control (take control), of my very soul (very soul)
Every time you're close to me (yeah)
You make me quiver and shake
Ooh, and I can't stand it, stand it

I touch your lips (touch your lips), your fingertips (fingertips)
I get a loving reaction, soul satisfaction (yeah)
Darling, you know that I can't stand it, stand it

I got a feeling, feeling
Got me rockin' and a reelin'
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout your love buttercup
Your kind of love, can't get enough

(Feeling, feeling)
(Rockin' and a reelin')
(Crazy 'bout your love)

(Yeah) you're earthquakin', soul shakin'
Everlovin', breathtakin'
You're electrifying
Soul satisfying

When you walk in a room
Right away, I start to swoon
I'm not sure of what you got
Ooh, but what it is, I like a lot

I got a feeling, feeling
Got me rockin' and a reelin'
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout your love buttercup
Your kind of love, can't get enough




I got a feeling, feeling
Got me rockin' and a reelin'
