Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga………

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to 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

Lips as sweet as candy
Its taste is on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine
I got it bad for you girl
But I don't need no cure
I'll just stay afflicted
If I can for sure
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl

Yeah, you turn me on, I ...
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl

Yeah, you turn me on, I…

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

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




And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
