The track's slow groove is reminiscent of Johnny, and lyrics from Feel Good were occasionally sung over the beat of Johnny in 1995 live shows. The song's lyrics state "come to the show and bring your tape recorder, cause you ought to have a copy of the... yo, wait a minute, no! In 1999, I'll be free, so..."

The lyrics of Prince's song "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful" convey a sense of positivity, forgiveness, and empowerment. In the opening lines, Prince talks about how he can sense the energy field of the person he is addressing, and he knows that they think they have won the game. However, he makes it clear that he has a trick up his sleeve and that he means no harm. He also offers to share his wine and conveys that he has got the person's back. In the second verse, Prince talks about how the other person tried to put him down by spitting on his face, but he does not let it get to him. He asserts that he has a guitar that can part the sea and that it was the same guitar that brought forth the water that quenched the person's thirst. He emphasizes that he means no disrespect and wishes the person well. The chorus "Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful" reinforces the message of positivity and optimism.
The lyrics of the song may have been inspired by Prince's personal experiences where he may have faced criticism, negative energy or attempts to pull him down. The song is a reminder to stay positive, forgive, and not let anyone dim your light. The idea of purple rock n roll may be a reference to Prince's signature style and his belief in making music that uplifts and inspires. The last line "Keep your mind in the vertical motion, always looking up" encourages the listener to keep focusing on the positive and moving upwards.
Line by Line Meaning
I could tell by the color of your energy field
I could sense that you thought you had already won
U thought this game was over
You believed you had succeeded in playing me
Chemical peel
A metaphorical treatment to remove the superficial layer of deceit
You tried to do me like my good brother Steve
You attempted to deceive me in the same way my brother was deceived
But I got another funky Trick up my sleeve
But I have another surprising move to counter your deception
Expecting me to freak on you a little bit more
Anticipating me to react with anger and frustration
But you get nothin' but well-wishes and flowers galore
But I respond with only positive thoughts and gestures
I mean no harm
I do not intend any harm against you
I still got your back
I continue to support and have loyalty to you
You can come and drink my wine
You are welcome to share and enjoy with me
As a matter of fact
Indeed, you are invited
Just feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Let's all try to feel our best and enjoy life
I don't know what you thought When you spit in my face
I don't understand your reasoning when you disrespected me
But this dimension ain't the time Or the place
This situation is not the appropriate time or location for negative behavior
I don't know who told you you could Stand next to me
I am not aware of who gave you permission to be in my presence
'Cuz I got a guitar that could Part the sea
My talents and abilities are powerful
Don't mean no disrespect
I don't have any intention of being rude
I ain't tryin' to brag
I am not boasting of my achievements
But that might b the same one that Tapped on the crag
But it could be the same guitar that had an impact on your life
And brought forth the water That quenched your thirst
The music created by my guitar could have provided relief and comfort to you
And we'll keep feeding ya But first things first!
We will continue to provide for you, but priorities must be established first
If you think about how much time it took
Reflecting on how much effort it took for you to try and deceive me
For you to try to get a page in my book
For you to try to have a role in my life
I feel so good right now I just can't recall
I am very content presently and cannot remember previous issues
What the (?) I was thinking when I Threw you the ball
What was I thinking when I allowed you to have a role in my life
It hit three bystanders after you touched it
Your involvement caused negative consequences for other people
Now they wanna sue me but they love me to much
Those negatively affected have a difficult decision because they still have positive feelings towards me
'Cuz they know I wish them heaven and all of its gold
They understand I still have positive thoughts and feelings towards them
Same to you, come on let's groove To the purple rock 'n roll
Feeling good and enjoying music together
Better than good, better than good, You know you should feel wonderful
Feeling better than just good, you should strive to have a wonderful life
Keep your mind in the vertical motion Always looking up
Maintain positive thoughts and outlooks in life
