The Feeling
Hayes & Y Lyrics

(You do, you do, you do, you do)
Expressing the presence of strong emotions and desires.

Can I be honest?
Asking for permission to speak the truth.

Nothing feels the way it did when we started
The initial excitement and spark of the relationship have faded.

Oh no
An expression of concern or disappointment.

You used to be harmless
You were once gentle and innocuous.

No risk and no commitment
There was a lack of danger and dedication.

You used to be guarded
You were once cautious and protective.

But no
However, things have changed.

Baby, you've been at my place for seven nights and seven days
You have been staying with me for a week.

Lookin' pretty comfortable for someone who needs space
Seeming at ease despite claiming a desire for personal freedom.

This ain't in my head 'cause you're in my bed
Acknowledging that the physical presence is real.

Say it, but I don't believe it, like you don't do feelings
Expressing doubt towards the claim of avoiding emotions.

Yeah, leave me, but I'll bet this ain't over yet
Acknowledging the possibility of a future reconciliation despite a departure.

Tell me what the hell we're feeling if you don't do feelings
Questioning the true nature of their emotions if they claim not to experience them.

I know, I know you feel it
Having confidence in perceiving the other person's emotions.

Don't say you don't do feelings, oh no
Rejecting their denial of experiencing emotions.

You're like a mood ring
Comparing their unpredictable emotions to a mood ring's color changes.

Ever changing in the heat of things you've been doing
Constantly fluctuating emotions during passionate moments.

With me
In the context of the relationship between the two individuals.

You're good at confusing
Skilled at creating confusion or uncertainty.

I'm just as good at melting for how you been moving
Equally susceptible to melting or falling for their actions and behaviors.

On me
Directed towards oneself.

Baby, I've been waking up to holding you for seven days
Starting each day by being physically close to the other person for a week.

You say no strings attached because I know you love a chase
Claiming a desire for a casual relationship while enjoying the pursuit.

This ain't in my head 'cause you're in my bed
Affirming that the physical intimacy is real.

Say it, but I don't believe it, like you don't do feelings
Expressing skepticism towards their assertion of not experiencing emotions.

Yeah, leave me, but I'll bet this ain't over yet
Anticipating the continuation of the relationship despite a departure.

Tell me what the hell we're feeling if you don't do feelings
Demanding an explanation for their emotions if they deny having them.

I know, I know you feel it
Being certain of the other person's emotional experience.

Don't say you don't do feelings, oh no
Rejecting their claim of not having emotions.

I know, I know you feel it
Having confidence in perceiving the other person's emotions.

Don't say you don't do feelings
Rejecting their denial of experiencing emotions.
