'Shakaya'
Hey pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever
Like ive never, ever known
You're just a product of loveliness
Your talk, your dress
I feel your fever
From miles around
I pick you up in my car
We will paint the town
Just kiss me baby
And tell me twice
Your the one for me
Chorus:
The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)
I like the feelin' you're givin' me
Just hold me baby and I'm in ecstasy
Oh I'll be workin' from nine to five
To buy you things to keep you by my side
I never felt so in love before
Just promise baby, you'll love me forever more
I swear I'm keepin' you satisfied
'Cause you're the one for me
The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)
Come on boy!
Yeh ow!
Come on boy!
I said come on!
I never felt so in love before
Promise baby, you'll love me forever more
I swear I'm keepin' you satisfied
'Cause you're the one for me...ow!
The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)
The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)
Aint no bodies business x8

Come on be my man

The song 'The Way You Make Me Feel' by Shakaya is a declaration of admiration and love towards a significant individual. From the opening lyrics, "Hey pretty baby with the high heels on," the singer is expressing her appreciation for her subject's physical appearance- their fashion choice and style. The person she is referring to has a feverish effect on her which she's never experienced before, and she's captivated by the way they carry themselves, the way they converse, and their mannerisms. She's so strongly affected by this person that she can feel the 'fever' from miles away.
The chorus, "the way you make me feel, you really turn me on, you knock me off of my feet, my lonely days are gone," emphasizes how special this person is and how much they mean to her. Mentioning that they make her feel 'ecstasy' and she'll work hard to buy them things to keep them by her side shows the depth of her feelings for them. She's never felt so in love before, and all she asks is for them to promise that they'll love her forevermore. The song concludes by declaring that they're the one, and she'll keep them satisfied, as they make or break her relationship.
