Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The first time I met you
I hit the ceiling
I could not forget you
You were completely sweet
Oh, what could I do?
I wanted phrases
That certain feeling
The one that they all know
No use concealing
I`ve got what they call love
Now we`re together
Let`s find out whether
You`re feeling, that feeling too
I felt it happen
Just as you came in view
Grew sort of dizzy
Thought gee, who is he?
That certain feeling
I`m here to confess it
Is so appealing
No words can express it
I can not hide it
I must confide it
I`m feeling that feeling, too.
