Michael Jackson Cover

Hee-hee!
Ooh!
Go on girl!
Aaow!

Hey pretty baby with the
High heels on
You give me fever
Like Ive never, ever known
Youre just a product of
Loveliness
I like the groove of
Your walk,
Your talk, your dress
I feel your fever
From miles around
Ill pick you up in my car and well paint the town
Just kiss me baby
And tell me twice
That youre the one for me

The way you make me feel
(the way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(you really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(you knock me off of
My feet)
My lonely days are gone
(my lonely days are gone)

I like the feelin youre
Givin me
Just hold me baby and im
In ecstasy
Oh Ill be workin from nine
To five
To buy you things to keep
You by my side
I never felt so in love before
Just promise baby, youll
Love me forevermore
I swear Im keepin you
Satisfied
Cause youre the one for me
The way you make me feel
(the way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(you really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
Now baby-hee!
(you knock me off of
My feet)
My lonely days are gone-
A-acha-acha
(my lonely days are gone)
Acha-ooh!

Go on girl!
Go on! hee! hee! aaow!
Go on girl!

I never felt so in love before
Promise baby, youll love me
Forevermore
I swear Im keepin you
Satisfied

Cause youre the one for
Me . . .

The way you make me feel
(the way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(you really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
Now baby-hee!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lil Rounds's cover of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" is an ode to love in its most innocent and pure form. It is a song that praises the beauty of love that has been ignited by the mere sight of someone who impresses and mesmerizes every part of your being. The song starts with a celebratory outburst, "Hee-hee! Ooh! Go on girl! Aaow!" and transitions into praise for the woman's beauty; "Hey pretty baby with the high heels on, you give me fever like I've never, ever known." The singer describes how she is the product of loveliness, and he likes everything about her from the groove of her walk to the way she talks and dresses.


The singer is overwhelmed by the feelings that the woman invokes in him, and he desires to spend time with her, paint the town together, and grow old in love. He expresses his willingness to work tirelessly, from nine to five or however long it takes, to provide her with things and keep her by his side. He would promise to fulfill her every desire, including keeping her satisfied.


The chorus of the song, "The way you make me feel, you really turn me on. You knock me off my feet. My lonely days are gone," is a declaration of the effect the woman has on the singer. It is a reassurance that he has found what he has been searching for his entire life, and all he wants is to be with her.

The arrangement half way through really threw me!! This was her one great performance.

Jose Vazquez

This and her semifinals performance.

Sharon Menezes

IMO this was her only week in the finals that she was somehow relevant. Not great, but good/relevant. Probably bacause different from other themes, this one she had to cover a male song instead of try to impersonate/mimic a powerhouse female singer that is beyond her limitations.

Macrisy Jim

Agreed. Just completely lost her R&B identity after this week.

Colin Van Blaricom

sboudreaux27 I actually thought she was the one to beat during the semi-finals

Lonell Fletcher

She was great, but her song selection was horrific

travishunterbrown

You are so right!
