Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Yeah, I've got a feeling.
Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah.
All these years I've been wandering around,
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you.
I've got a feeling, that keeps me on my toes
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I've got a feeling, I think that everybody knows
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah.
Yeah
Ev'rybody had a hard year
Ev'rybody had a good time
Ev'rybody had a wet dream,
Ev'rybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Ev'rybody had a good year,
Ev'rybody let their hair down,
Ev'rybody pulled their socks up,
Ev'rybody put their foot down.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah I've got a feeling
A feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no
Oh no no no
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling
The Beatles’ song I’ve Got a Feeling is a track from their Let It Be album. The lyrics express the singer’s deep, unshakeable feeling that something significant is about to happen. The repetition of the phrase “I’ve got a feeling” creates a sense of urgency and excitement, further emphasized by the use of an upbeat tempo and strong rhythmic patterns. The lines “Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train // And if you leave me I won't be late again” refer to the singer’s anxiety about missing out on something important.
The second verse of the song offers a glimpse into the singer’s personal life as he reflects on his past. He says that for many years he had been searching for someone who looked like the person he has now found. This suggests that the song is not just about a vague sense of anticipation, but rather a specific feeling related to a person or relationship. The third verse features a series of contrasting phrases, like “good year”/“wet dream” and “sunshine”/“hair down,” which present a snapshot of various experiences and emotions shared by people.
