Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again
Barry Manilow Lyrics

Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
The singer is worried because his partner is coming back late and he feels like something is missing in their relationship.

Could you maybe give me something?
The singer is asking the doctor for help to get the feeling back.

'Cause the feelin' is gone
The feeling that made the singer happy is no longer there.

And I must get it back right away
The artist is in a hurry to get the feeling back before his partner arrives.

Before she sees that I've been
The artist is worried that his partner will notice that something is wrong.

Up, down, tryin' to get the feelin' again
The singer has tried everything to get the feeling back.

All around tryin' to get the feelin' again
The singer has searched everywhere to get the feeling back.

The one that made me shiver
The feeling that made the artist shiver with excitement is what he is trying to get back.

Made my knees start to quiver
The feeling the artist had was so strong that it made his knees shake.

Every time she walked in
The feeling would come whenever the artist's partner came into the room.

And I've looked high, low
The singer has searched everywhere for the feeling.

Everywhere I possibly can
The artist has searched every possible place to get the feeling back.

But there's no tryin' to get the feelin' again
Despite all the efforts, the singer cannot get the feeling back.

It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
The feeling came suddenly and left just as quickly.

Where did it run to?
The singer wonders where the feeling has gone.

I thought I'd done all that I could
The artist feels like he has tried everything to get the feeling back.

Just to keep the love light burnin'
The artist has tried to keep the love between him and his partner alive.

But whatever I've done I guess
Despite all the effort, the singer's attempts have not succeeded.

I just haven't done it too good
The singer feels like he has not done enough to keep the feeling alive.

'Cause all that's left is yearnin'
The artist is left with only a longing for the feeling that is no longer there.

And I've looked high, and low
The artist has searched everywhere for the feeling.

And everywhere I possibly can
The artist has searched every possible place to get the feeling back.

It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
The feeling came suddenly and left just as quickly.

I've been looking, I've been looking, I've been looking
The artist has been looking for the feeling.

To get the feeling
The singer wants to get the feeling back.

I've been up, and down and tryin' to get the feelin'
The singer has tried everything to get the feeling back.

I've been up, I've been down, I've been tryin' to get
The singer has been trying everything to get the feeling back.

I've been tryin', I've been tryin',I've been tryin'
The artist has been trying very hard to get the feeling back.

To get the feeling
The artist wants to get the feeling back.

I've been tryin' to get the feeling again
The singer is still trying to get the feeling back.

I want to get that feeling
The singer yearns to get the feeling back.

I'm going to get that feeling
The artist is determined to get the feeling back.

I got to get that feeling
The artist feels that he must get the feeling back.

And again, and again, and again, and again
The artist wants to feel the feeling again and again.

Tryin' to get that feeling
The singer is still trying to get the feeling back.
