Got A Feeling
Rhubarb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know she's one in a million
One of the few that night
She's going to ask me her the question
Can anyone tow this line

[Chorus]
She's on the first line, keeping everybody in tow
She's on the first line, keeping everybody in tow

She's only moving lightly,
Keeping her back up straight.
You know she's breaking the rules,
But someone knows how to play this game.

She's on the first line, keeping everybody in tow
She's on the first line, keeping everybody in tow
She's got a feeling she could be alone all night.(She's on the first line, She's on the first line,)
She's got a feeling she could be alone all night.(She's on the first line, She's on the first line, whew)

Like a bull at a gate,
Jumped the gun like I've always done
Tripped head over heels
Cold feelings surround me

She's on the first line, keeping everybody in tow
She's on the first line, keeping everybody in tow




She's got a feeling she could be alone all night. (She's on the first line, She's on the first line,)
She's got a feeling she could be alone all night. (She's on the first line, She's on the first line, whew)
