Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm gonna get you
Say I've got a little feeling
That it won't be long
Till I hold you in my arms and, baby,
That's where you belong
Well I've got a feeling
That you think about me
And I hope it's true
Cause nobody else could want you so
And love you like I do
Well I got a feeling
That our love was meant to be
And there's a whole wild world of happiness
Just waitin' for you and me
So why don't you tell me
That you love me only
Cause I got a feeling
That you really do
And I never had this feeling
Till I fell in love with you

Well I've got a feeling
I have a strong sense
That I'm gonna get you
That I will have you as my partner
Say I've got a little feeling
I have a subtle notion
That it won't be long
That it will not take a long time
Till I hold you in my arms and, baby,
Until I embrace you closely, sweetheart,
That's where you belong
That is where you are meant to be

Well I've got a little feeling

And I wish it is the case
Cause nobody else could want you so
No one else could desire you as much
And love you like I do
And cherish you the way I do
Well I got a feeling
I have a strong sense
That our love was meant to be
That our relationship is meant to happen
And there's a whole wild world of happiness
And there is abundance of joy and felicity
Just waitin' for you and me
That is waiting for both of us
So why don't you tell me
So, why don't you say to me
That you love me only
That you solely love me
Cause I got a feeling
Because I have a strong sense
That you really do
That you indeed do love me
And I never had this feeling
And I have never had this sentiment before
Till I fell in love with you
Until I started developing romantic feelings towards you

Carlos Manuel Reus
Great song performed by Ricky Nelson. James Burton playing Rickenbacker before John Lennon made it his trademark guitar.
Cynthia Ennis
He looked so confident & feeling that music & connected so well with everyone, even though it was on The Adventures of O & H, he & the other musicians looked like they were having a great time! He looked so relaxed! They knocked it outa the park! ⚾️ Home run! ♥️
