I Feel A Song
Gladys Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But why I loved you I'll never know
You found a reason for leavin'
Soon as I gave my love to you
And oh, ah, whoa, the pain you put me through
You don't care 'bout my love for you, huh
But I found a reason for livin'
And now I feel a song in my heart again
I knew as soon as I felt him lookin' through me
I feel a song in my heart again
High on the wings of the things he's doin' to me
Oh, that a man is fine
Ooh, what's even better the man is mine
He makes me feel just like a woman
Something that you could never do
And now I feel a song in my heart again
I found a man who can put it all together
I feel a song in my heart again
I'm gonna love him and make it last forever
(Our worlds have come to an end)
(I feel a song in my heart again)
Oh, oh, oh, it feels so good
You, you, you, you, you never understood
He makes me feel like I'm somethin'
And I'm gonna keep him if I can
I know I feel a song in my heart again
Now I can open my eyes to a new door
I feel a song in my heart again
The man is all that I need to fill my love up
I feel a song, ooh, what a feelin'
I feel it takin' me higher and higher
I feel a song in my heart again
His kind of lovin' I can never get enough of
I don't need your lovin' 'cause I got his lovin'
Woo, I feel a song again, ooh, y'all
I've been born again, ooh
(I feel a song in my heart again, feel it)
I feel a song in my heart again
I've got to tell you he's twice the man that you were
I feel a song in my heart again

MS. GLADYS NIGHT IS THE ONLY ONE
THAT I HEARD AND ACCEPT THE TRUTH
THAT HELPED BRING THE JACKSON 5
INTO THE SPOTLIGHT TO DISPLAY THEIR
MANY GIFTED TALENTS AS OUTSTANDING
SINGERS AND ENTERTAINERS
AND I'M SAD TO HEAR ABOUT HER RECENTLY PASSING AWAY, BUT SHE AND
THE PIPS ALSO PUT IN THEIR GOOD TIME
