Strange
Feeling Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you dig this life
They call the meek
You whose feet are on the ground
And if you get too high
What goes around comes around
And brings you down
'Cause people gonna see you
How they wanna see you

People gonna rate you
People gonna hate you
People gonna shove you
People gonna love you
People gonna do whatever
Makes them feel they own you better

'Cause everyone knows we're strange
(Ah)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Oh) Baby
Everyone knows we're different
(Ah)
So why do you feel ashamed
We love you all the same

That's why
'Cause if you feel it
And if you mean it
Don't apologize
And you'll be just fine
Cause all they ever need is what you'll give them
Is what you're given
They only put you down if you give them permission

'Cause people gonna see you
How they wanna see you
People gonna rate you
People gonna hate you
People gonna shove you
People gonna love you
People gonna do whatever
Makes them feel they own you better

'Cause everyone knows we're strange
(Ah)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Oh) Baby
Everyone knows we're different
(Ah)
So why do you feel ashamed
(Oh)
We love you all the same

We love you all the same
We love you all the same, yeah
