Feels Just Like It Should
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
(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
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.

Thought I'd drop some trivia. I was honored to work on this video way back, it was SO fun. (3 day shoot) I was Jay's Double, (I do the Back Flip) and yes that is WEE-Man! There is not much CGI in this vid, good old fashion tricks. When you see Jay as one character, I'm the other. Except the girl.The sparks from his shoes are real! Plastic bottoms w/ flints. And he insisted on doing all the stunts himself. Great Guy! Miss ya Mate, get your but back to the States. Peace, EasyRoc (Rock Steady Crew)
@DCMA247

@dj-um7el
Nice!!
@fabricesioul3397
So cool ! Thanks for sharing with us !
@lilbatu9928
It was a 4 day shoot because of the scene where Jay is being dragged by the car had to be shot on a larger real street, the set had a street but it was too short for the car to gain speed
@easyroc83
I was there that day too, but never got the chance to slide in THEM SHOES! I didn't realize that was the 4 th day. Memory ain't what it used to be.
@nono-sh1iu
This song and video are criminally underrated.
