Strange Emotion
Jessy Lanza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stay at home?
Cause' I don't think
That I can go out then
I've got plans
That I can't stop thinking of
And if you want
I feel it, coming, around
Yeah i feel it, coming, so strong
Boy you got me feeling such a strange emotion
Boy you make me feel like a strange emotion
But it feels so real
And I don't know if you were for real
Boy you make me feel such a strange emotion
It's one o'clock
Baby where you been?
Ooh cause I don't know
How I'm gonna say you win
And one more day
And then you'll see
Baby cause I feel it, coming around
Baby I feel it coming, so strong
Boy you make me feel such a strange emotion
Boy you make me feel like a strange emotion
But it feels so so real
I don't know if you were for real
Boy you make me feeling like a strange, strange, strange emotion
The lyrics of "Strange Emotion" by Jessy Lanza speak about the mixed feelings that come with falling for someone and not being able to control those emotions. The singer indicates that she wants to go out with this person, but at the same time, she is afraid of what might happen if she does. She continuously asks the person if they care about spending time with her at home because she cannot bear the thought of going out with someone else. The conflicting feelings are evident as she expresses her excitement for the plans they have, but at the same time, she wonders whether the person is genuine or not.
The chorus, "Boy you make me feel like a strange emotion, but it feels so real," emphasizes the confusion and ambiguity surrounding the singer's emotions. The attraction to this person is so strong that it is almost beyond her control, and she acknowledges that she cannot resist her feelings for him. The song's emotions are relatable to anyone who has been in a similar position and speaks to the uncertainty that comes with new and intense emotions.

Do you care?
Do you have any concern for me?
To stay at home?
Do you want to stay indoors?
Cause' I don't think
I'm not sure that
That I can go out then
I'll be able to go out
I've got plans
I have things to do
That I can't stop thinking of
I keep thinking about them
And if you want
And if you desire
Baby come and show your love
Come and express your affections
I feel it, coming, around
I sense that something is approaching
Yeah i feel it, coming, so strong
I sense it significantly
Boy you got me feeling such a strange emotion
You make me experience an odd feeling
Boy you make me feel like a strange emotion
You make me feel indescribable
But it feels so real
But it seems authentic
And I don't know if you were for real
I do not know if you were genuine
Boy you make me feel such a strange emotion
You make me experience an inexplicable feeling
It's one o'clock
It's one in the morning
Baby where you been?
Where have you been, my dear?
Ooh cause I don't know
Oh, because I am uncertain
How I'm gonna say you win
How I'll declare you the victor
And one more day
Just one more day
And then you'll see
And then you will understand
Baby cause I feel it, coming around
My intuition tells me it is near
Baby I feel it coming, so strong
I sense it powerfully approaching
Boy you make me feel such a strange emotion
You make me feel a strange feeling
Boy you make me feel like a strange emotion
You make me feel like something inexplicable
But it feels so so real
But it seems very authentic
I don't know if you were for real
I don't know if you were sincere
Boy you make me feeling like a strange, strange, strange emotion
You make me feel an odd, indescribable emotion
