This Feeling
The Covasettes Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "This Feeling" by The Covasettes, can be interpreted as a confession or a conversation between two people where one person is trying to pursue the other despite certain warnings or rumors about the person they are interested in. The first line "Oh I heard she's forward, she said she don't like stalling" could be interpreted as a warning about the person the singer is interested in, possibly implying that the person they are interested in might not be interested in a relationship or might be moving too quickly. The next line "Don't you think you'll get along with me?" indicates that the singer is willing to take a chance and is trying to pursue the person despite the warning.

The next few lines "Now I should be smarter but your tan-lines make it harder, could I have the time of day?" suggests that the singer is attracted to the person despite the warning, the singer is willing to look past the warning because of their physical appearance or charm. The line "Oh I can't shake this feeling, it gets me every time, you roll me up and smoke me down until you're high" could be interpreted as the singer feeling helpless or powerless against their emotions and desires towards the other person. The line "I don't think you'll let me go, no I" suggests that the singer feels trapped in their feelings and desires towards the other person.

The last few lines in the song "My head slipped on my heels, now I'm sliding downhill, there's no turning back for me" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that they are in too deep, they are falling further and further, and there is no way back for them. Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a sense of vulnerability, desire, and powerlessness against emotions and desires towards someone they know might not be good for them.
