I Can't Shake This Feeling
Klique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t shake this feeling
I can't shake this feeling
It must be love, must be love
I can′t shake this feeling
I can't shake this feeling
It must be love, must be love

There's a strange sensation deep in my soul
Something I can′t control
Comes over me ooh, whenever you′re near
Takes hold of me when you're not here

I can hardly explain this wonderful pain
It hurts me so good but I like it
There′s do doubt what it is
This ecstasy is killing me
I can't shake this feeling
Baby it′s got to be love
I can't shake this feeling
It must be love, must be love

I can′t shake this feeling
You know it must be love
Turning me around yes, you do girl
It must be love, must be love

I can't see the sky for the love in my eyes
I see only you
This emotion makes me feel so new
I could not change if I wanted to

I can hardly explain this wonderful pain
It hurts me so good but I like it, I like it
There's do doubt what it is
This ecstasy is killing me
I can′t shake this feeling
Baby it′s got to be love
I can't shake this feeling
It must be love, must be love

Gotta be, gotta be love
I can′t shake this feeling
You know it must be love
Turning me around sweet baby
It must be love, must be love

I can't shake this feeling
It must be love, must be love
You know it must be love
Just won′t let me go
I can't shake this feeling
Baby it′s got to be love
I can't shake this feeling
It must be love, must be love
Turning me around
I can't shake this feeling
You know it must be love
This feeling that′s come over me




Girl it just won′t let me be
It must be love, must be love.

The guy's voice kills me when he starts to sing : "I can hardly explain this wonderful pain..." and their bridge too.
We were so glad and we enjoyed the life better than today.
