Make Me Feel
Skip Marley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the blessings
All the beauty that you are
Satisfaction is my reaction
Every time I'm near your heart
Can you feel it?
Know you see it
So many people in pain
Even though
It's rough out there
No one knows, seems no one cares
You give me hope
When none is found
Life is short, time's running out
Let's make this a good life
Yeah, even through the bad times, yeah
Nothing can kill this vibe, no
As long as I feel the way you make me feel, ay
All the touching
All the loving
Overflowing (in too deep)
Realization, through the madness
Body avid (belong to me)
Can you feel it?
Do you see it?
So many people in pain
Thank Jah for the love we share
'Cause even though
It's rough out there
No one knows, seems no one cares
You give me hope
When none is found
Life is short, time's running out
Let's make this a good life
Yeah, even through the bad times, yeah
Nothing can kill this vibe
As long as I feel the way you make me feel, ay
You give me hope (you do)
When none is found
Life is short (talk to me), time's running out (yeah)
Let's make this a good life
Yeah, even through the bad times (yeah)
Nothing can kill this vibe (baby)
As long as I feel the way you make me feel, ay
Oh Lordy Lord, oh
So free, so free, so free
