The Feeling
John L. Sullivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
Cause that old feeling is still in my heart
The song "The Feeling" by John L. Sullivan speaks about encountering an ex-lover and experiencing an overwhelming flood of emotions. The lyrics indicate that although the love affair has already ended, the singer cannot help feeling that he still has feelings left for this person. The song's melody is upbeat and jazzy, but the lyrics are emotive and powerful. The repetition of the phrase "that old feeling" emphasizes how the lingering emotions of a past romance can still affect a person to this day. The lyrics also suggest that the singer knows that starting a new romance is doomed to fail because his heart still belongs to his past love.
The song's opening stanza paints a vivid picture of the moment the singer sees his ex. The line "When you came in sight, I got that old feeling" conveys a sense of surprise that such intense emotions can still be evoked by an old flame. In the second verse, the singer admits that he felt a spark of love that reignited his yearning for his former love. Although he knows that it's foolish to pursue a new romance, he can't help the feelings that flood his heart.

Line by Line Meaning
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
Upon laying eyes on you last night, an indescribable sensation washed over me
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment you entered my line of vision, I was struck by the same familiar emotion
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
As you glided past me, there was a palpable excitement that ran through me
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still
You had my full attention and every other thought melted away at that moment
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
The sense of longing that I thought had disappeared has arisen again
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
It became clear to me that the flame of affection has not died out
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
Attempting to pursue a new love interest would be unwise and even futile
Cause that old feeling is still in my heart
Because that same intense emotion still resides within me

Lyrics
You say that I've been actin' different, yeah
Funny how I finally flipped the script on you
When you the one who's double-dippin', yeah
You so sloppy, how I caught you slippin' up
You're off the lease, run me my keys
No more poppin' up to hit it, yeah
I ain't even got the miles to trip on you
New phone (who is this?)
Brand new, like the whip
Rack it up, no assist
Main bitch I ain't average
Wake up, need a zip
Hennessy take a sip
I got my jeans, I'm too thick
I ain't got the room for extra baggage
Don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings
Don't leave no pieces (oh, oh)
You need to hurry and pick up your, ooh-ooh, feelings
While I'm up cleaning
Boy please, I don't need it (I don't need it)
Memories, all that shit, you can keep it (oh, oh)
Don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh-ooh, feelings
Don't leave no pieces (oh)
Oh, I'm tryna find a fuck to give for you
You ran out of chances of forgivin', yeah
Yeah, listen, I ain't listenin'
Just for you to go and break my heart again
I learned my lesson (last time)
Woah, and I ain't comin' (back now)
This is what you had now (had now)
And I bet you I look better, don't I?
New phone (who is this?)
Contact? Don't exist
Need a ride? Call that bitch
Gas way too expensive
No more, benefits
Pop-up visits
Hands tied, no grip
I ain't got the room for extra baggage
So don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings
And don't leave no pieces (hey, ayy)
You need to hurry and pick up your, (pick up your), feelings
While I'm up cleaning (oh, oh)
Boy please, I don't need you
Oh, oh, memories, all that shit, you can keep it (oh, oh)
Don't forget to come and pick up your, oh, feelings
Don't leave no pieces (oh)
Put a lock on the door where my heart once was, hmm
Boy you had your fun
But I had enough
Now I'm really done
I deserve so much more than you gave to me
So now I'm savin' me
And I made my peace
So you can run them streets
But don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings
And don't leave no pieces (Don't leave no)
You need to hurry and pick up your, ooh, feelings
While I'm up cleaning
Boy please (boy please, oh)
I don't need you (I don't need you)
All that shit (all that shit)
You can keep it (you can keep it), I don't need it (I don't need it)
Don't forget (don't forget) to come and
Pick up your, oh feelings (oh, pick up your feelings)
Don't leave no pieces
Oh, oh, oh woah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
