I've Got A Feeling
Ray Noble & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're a mixture of devil and saint
I just sigh and dream and try to figure you out!
Love is in season, the moon's up above
Tho' it be treason to question your love
Ev'rytime I look at you My heart's in doubt
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I'll get a goby when you are done foolin' with me
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I've got a notion it's make believe
I think you're laughin' right up your sleeve
Foolin' with me
Life is worth living while you are giving moments of paradise
You're such a stand out
But how you handout that hokus, pokus from your eyes
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I've got a feelin' it's all a frame
It's just the well known old army game foolin' with you
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I've got a feelin' you're havin' fun
I'll get a goby when you are done foolin' with me
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I've got a notion it's make believe
I think you're laughin' right up your sleeve
Foolin' with me
Life is worth living while you are giving moments of paradise
You're such a stand out
But how you handout that hokus, pokus from your eyes
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I've got a feelin' it's all a frame
