Uncle Sam
Freddie McGregor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a few things you make me feel like
Tuesday nights, black lights, velvet pictures, movie in
Zodiac signs, street lights
Shine through the window, 50 candles in yellow
Got a lot, a lot of love for you, baby
Got a lot, a lot of love
I wanna put you up there now baby
Wanna place you up above
Ooh, you make me wanna stare at you, baby
Make me wanna look and see
'Cause I like the way you move your sexuality
Girl you make me feel like
Touching you
Girl you make me feel like
Holding you
Girl you make me feel like
Needing you
Girl you make me feel like
Making love to you
Baby, baby, won't you come to me, baby?
Baby, baby, come to me
'Cause I've got this feeling, darlin'
And it's really killing, see
If I take you in, will you come up?
I need to know right now
I wanna see if it's real now, baby
What's this thing all about?
Girl you make me feel like
Touching you
Girl you make me feel like
Holding you
Girl you make me feel like
Needing you
Girl you make me feel like
Making love to you
If I ask you, can I touch you there, baby
Does it feel good?
'Cause when you touch me
You make me feel like a real man should
Please be gentle, I'll be gentle
That's alright
'Cause I wanna do you, baby, all night
Girl you make me feel like
Touching you
Girl you make me feel like
Holding you
Girl you make me feel like
Needing you
Girl you make me feel like
Making love to you
Girl you make me feel like
Touching you
Girl you make me feel like
Holding you
Girl you make me feel like
Needing you
Girl you make me feel like
Making love to you
Girl you make me feel like
Touching you
Girl you make me feel like
Holding you
Girl you make me feel like
Needing you
Girl you make me feel like
Making love to you
Girl you make me feel like
Girl you make me feel like
Girl you make me feel like




Girl you make me feel like
Making love to you
