Can't Stop The Feeling!
Justin Timberlake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got this feelin' inside my bones
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flyin' up, no ceilin', when we in our zone

I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, movin' so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop

And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Nothin' I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feel a good, good creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance, come on

Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushin' on (rushin' on)
I don't need no reason, don't need control (don't need control)
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone

'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop

Under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feel a good, good creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin' (yeah)
So keep dancin', come on

Oh, yeah, oh
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the feelin'

Nothin' I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance (I can't stop the feelin')
Feel a good, good creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on (I can't stop the feelin')
All those things I shouldn't do

And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin' (I can't stop the feelin')

Everybody sing

"Can't Stop The Feeling!"
(from "Trolls" soundtrack)

I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flying up, no ceiling, when we're in our zone

I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
I can't take my eyes up off it
Moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it
So don't stop

And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing

I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on

Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on
Don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone

'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
I can't take my eyes up off it
Moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it
So don't stop

And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing

I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing, come on

I can't stop the—
I can't stop the—
I can't stop the—
I can't stop the—
I can't stop the feeling

Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
(I can't stop the feeling)
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling)
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing

Everybody sing
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling)
Wanna see you move your body

Story time kids;
I met my wife of 25 years while I was working as a bouncer. It was a fun bar to work at, and I seldom had to be The Tough Guy. In fact we were encouraged to dance, at least once a night. She always danced with me, I wasn't good, but I wasn't a spaz. When we got the chance we went dancing, I loved moving, and she loved to try and keep up. She was a diabetic, we got married a year after we met because she almost died and I was not willing to miss out on a life with this remarkable woman. We had ups and downs, we fought, we made up, we danced. The day came when her illness took away her ability to dance with me, so I danced for her. I made breakfast, I danced and sang along to our faves. I dusted, or vaccuumed, I danced. I danced to this song for her once or twice. She died last month, it's hard to dance now, but I try. It isn't the same without her smiling and encouraging me. But I will dance, probably not well, certainly not well, but I will dance for her. If there is someone you love, dance with them, dance for them, dance for no reason, dance for every reason. But for God's sake, dance for them before they are gone.

@iBair

OMW this actually brought tears to my eyes.. Thank you for being the spark in her life

@candyrainrnt

Michael Saumure this really made me tear up in the train! I know that no words can alleviate the pain. Condolences. :'( May her spirit rest in peace, and I hope that you continue to dance for her. I'm sure she's watching over you every minute of every day.

@justanotherbohemian3827

Look,I certainly don't know how it feels,but I think she's not actually dead if you remember her.(If the advice is not so good don't complain I'm only 12)
