Such A Good Feeling
Brothers In Rhythm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to heed a word they say
All I'm trying to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
Yes, I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
He's by the stairs
No, I don't mean to alarm you
He's swimming around all over town
Meaning, no feeling
Are you going to heed a word they say
No, all I try to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
There's a very odd man over there
I don't mean to alarm you
He's by the stairs
I don't meant to alarm you
I'm still waiting for you to show me fire
Oh, how's your fever
Like an open book
Oh, you can read me
Oh la la la la la
They would if they could, but they can't
So if they talk like they could
Are you going to listen to a word they say
All I'm trying to to say was
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows
Because of his hob knob
Oh la la, I think love was a dirty word




Love all the time, only in a friendly way
Not too friendly, not too friendly
