Got the Best of Me
Riley and the Roxies Lyrics

Sometimes I get a good feeling
Occasionally, I experience a positive sensation

I get a feeling that I never, never had before
This feeling is brand new to me

And I got to tell you right now
I must express how I'm feeling immediately

I believe, I really do believe that
I have complete faith in my emotions

Something's got a hold on me
I am being controlled by an unknown force

(Oh, it must be love)
This force is likely caused by love

Something's got a hold on me right now child
I am currently being influenced in an overpowering way

(Yeah, it must be love)
My suspicion that love is the cause has grown stronger

I never felt like this before
This sensation is completely new to me

Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
This unknown force is very strong and seemingly unbreakable

I believe I'd die if I only could
This situation feels so strong that it might be unbearable

I sure feel strange, but I sure feel good
Though this experience is different, it is still enjoyable

I said, oh yeah
I exclaimed my realization

It must be love
This feeling is likely caused by love

(You know it must be love)
I am now more certain that this is caused by love

Let me tell you now
I need to explain the gravity of my situation

I got a feeling, I feel so strange
I have an overwhelming, unfamiliar sensation

Everything about me seems to have changed
This feeling has had a profound effect on me

Step by step, I got a brand new walk
My mannerisms and movements have changed too

I even sound sweeter when I talk
My voice has transformed in a positive way

My heart feels heavy, my feet feel light
This feeling is both intense and energizing

I shake all over, but I feel alright
Despite the physical effects, I still feel okay

I never thought it could happen to me
I didn't expect to experience such a strong feeling

My heart was heavy when in misery
I understand what it's like to have a heavy heart

I never thought it could be this way
This sensation has surpassed any past experiences

Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me
I now realize that the force controlling me is love, and it will be painful

Yeah he walks like love
I describe my perception of the force or person causing my love

And he talks like love
The way this person speaks reinforces my belief it is love

Makes me feel alright
Being under the influence of this force ultimately feels good

In the middle of the night
This powerful feeling overtakes me even when I'm trying to sleep

Na na na na!
I express my emotions through non-verbal sounds
