Feelin
Johnny Kidd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(You do it to me baby, you do it all the time)
You bring on that feeling
You bring on that thing
All I gotta do i se you baby
Well you make my heartstring twang
Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Ooh what a feelin' baby baby,
(You do it to me baby, you do it all the time)
(You do it to me baby, you do it all the time)
You make my heart so happy
You make my heart so gay
There's nothing like us being here
That makes us lovers sway
Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Ooh what a feelin' baby baby,
Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Uh huh huh
The room starts movin' around me
I just can't take too much
It's crazy when you're around me
You'd better keep back and baby please don't touch
My knees just turn to jelly
All my limbs get weak
And all that it takes to give me shivers and shakes
Is just to hear you speak
Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Ooh what a feelin' baby baby,
Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Uh huh huh
(You do it to me baby, you do it all the time)
Oh well you bring that feelin' down on me
Oh well you bring that feelin' down on me
Oh well you bring that feelin' down on me (etc)
The song is all about love and how it makes the singer feel. The opening lines "You do it to me baby, you do it all the time" are repeated throughout the song to emphasise the fact that his partner brings him this feeling constantly. He only needs to see her to get these feelings. When he's around her his heart sings, and he feels that he's happy and in love.
The chorus "Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Ooh what a feelin' baby baby, Uh huh huh" is a testament to the incredibly powerful feelings that this woman brings to the singer. The chorus is very upbeat and joyful, which conveys the love and excitement that he's experiencing. At the same time, though, there are moments of intensity such as "My knees just turn to jelly, All my limbs get weak" and this is when he realises just how crazy in love he is.
In the end, he says that he can't get enough of her and that he wants more of what she's giving him. He requests her to continue bringing these feelings to him by singing, "Oh well you bring that feeling down on me". This song is just about the great feeling of being loved, being in love, and wanting that feeling always.
