I've Got a Feeling
Ivy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, what can I do?
I've been out searching for you.
I've got a feeling all I need is a love that's true.

Baby, what can I say?
I know this won't go away.
I've got a feeling all I need is to see you today.
I've been watching the world pass by all around me.
I've been letting the days go by 'til you found me.

Baby, what can I do?
I've been out searching for you.
I've got a feeling all I need is a love that's true.

I've been watching the world pass by all around me.
I've been letting the days go by 'til you found me.

Baby, what can I do?
I've been out searching for you.




I've got a feeling all I need is a love that's true.
I've got a feeling all I need is a love that's true.

Most underrated band ever. They always pump out good music. I stumbled across them on the tv show "Roswell" and been listening to them since then.

I heard their song 'I Think of You' watching the ending credits of 'Shallow Hal' for the first time in December of '17....Been hooked on her ever since.

@2000FIREBIRDW68 fun story.....I saw shallow Hal in the movies in 2003. The song was so good at the end credits “I think of you” that people say and stayed like it was another part of the movie....I even remember a woman going “oh this is smooth uh uhhh ima need this song we need a wait for the credits” 😂😂 fast forward to 2020....my mom was watching shallow Hal in the kitchen. It was towards the end. The credits pop up and I think of you Intro starts....gave me goosebumps. Everyone just sat quiet and we let the whole song play. I didn’t say anything but I was like “holy shit it’s happening again...just like 2003” it brought tears to my eyes. That’s how you know this band made classics. Absolutely Timeless.

Carlos Alberto Reyes Cervantes

You are totally right!, this band is perfection, ellegance, magic, everything!!!!
