Feels Just Like It Should
Jamiroquai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm coming down to see ya
I'm looking for fast and cheap
I'm looking for the back of the streets
(Yeah-ow)
I'm gonna get experience
I'm here to see the candy man
To turn it up and drown
Feels just like it should
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
(I know I'll get experience)
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
Turn it up and drown

I'm going on a laser beam
To shoot some cheries down
I'm acting like a free agent
I got myself a fine wide smile
So baby for the first time
I need a little sugar 'n' spice
(Yeah-ow)
I want to see the city lights
I know I found her number

Feels just like it should
(Yeah-0w)
Feels just like it should
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
I'm looking for a fancy chick

Feels just like it should
I'm looking for the back of the streets
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
I'm gonna get experience
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
I'm here to see the candy man
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should

Sugar-spice I'm on the phone
I'm outside
In a mean little street from the back town
I want you
I want to lick you up and down
Feels good
She said it would feel that good
And it does

(Yeah-ow)
(Yeah-ow)
And it feels, it feels, it feels
And it feels, it feels, it feels
And it feels, it feels, it feels
Just like you
Just like you said it would
(Yeah-ow)

Feels just like it should
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should
I'm coming down tonight to taste y'all
Sugar-spice I want you, a sexy girl




Slips in, it feels good
Feels just like it should

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jamiroquai's song "Feels Just Like It Should" describe a night out on the town, with the singer searching for excitement, spontaneity, and pleasure. Lines like "I'm looking for the fast and cheap" and "I'm acting like a free agent" perfectly encapsulate the desire to let loose and have fun. The singer describes visiting the "candy man" and wanting to see the city lights, all while accompanied by a cheerful, energetic beat that emphasizes the hedonistic sentiment of the song. The chorus repeats the phrase "Feels just like it should" multiple times, as if to emphasize that the singer's night out is exactly what they hoped it would be.


The lyrics also suggest a sexual encounter, particularly when the singer talks about looking for a "fancy chick" who is "sugar and spice." The lines "I want to lick you up and down / Feels good / She said it would feel that good / And it does" are particularly suggestive, indicating that the singer may be engaging in a sensual experience. However, the overall tone of the song is lighthearted and carefree, with an emphasis on enjoying the moment.

It's crazy, we know it's a band, but I couldn't tell you what the rest of the guys look like and to be honest, they probably like it that way, I'm assuming 🤷🏾‍♀️
