Feels Good
The Fives Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're on the telephone
Telling me that she's gone
Now we've been down this road
A million times before

'Cause it's a sweet sensation
Thinking of all that hot temptation
You know it's going right where you want

Yeah, you know what's going on

I keep breaking my own rules playing your love fool
Trying to forget about the consequence
We keep saying we should and yeah we know we could stop
But really what it all comes down to is

It feels so good
It feels so good when I'm in your arms

Don't you know, it feels so good
It feels so good, it feels so good

You say it's dangerous
You don't wanna be exposed
But I know you're like a mess
And you're not gonna let it go

But it's a sweet sensation thinking of all that hot temptation
I can't stop, you know it's going right where you want
Yeah yo know what's going on

I keep breaking my own rules playing your love fool
Trying to forget about the consequence
We keep saying we should and yeah we know we could stop
But really what it all comes down to is

It feels so good
It feels so good when I'm in your arms

Don't you know, it feels so good
It feels so good, it feels so good

It feels so good, feel so good
Just move with me
Move with me, move with me

Oh, won't you move with me?
Move with me, move with me

I keep breaking my own rules playing your love fool
Trying to forget about the consequence
We keep saying we should and yeah we know we could stop
But really what it all comes down to is

It feels so good
It feels so good when I'm in your arms

Don't you know, it feels so good
It feels so good, it feels so good

Overall Meaning

The Fives's song Feels Good is a perfect example of a catchy pop song with a tricky subject matter. The lyrics imply that the singer is involved in a passionate but dangerous relationship, the kind where the two parties can't stay away from each other regardless of the consequences. The singer's lover is gone, and they're on the phone discussing their next potential meeting. The chorus repeats several times the lyrics about how good it feels to be in their lover's arms, even though it's abundantly clear to both of them that their relationship is dangerous and not healthy.

The lyrics of this song already generate the proper meaning of the song, which is about a passionate but dangerous relationship. However, the song has another layer of meaning that goes beyond that. The lyrics suggest a sort of addiction whereby the singer and their lover keep finding themselves drawn back into the same cycle of fighting, making up, and then starting all over again. They know that they should stop, but they can't resist the pull of the temptation. Every time the singer's lover leaves, they know they will be back, and although it causes trouble, they can't say no to the temptation. This interpretation is further emphasized by the line "trying to forget about the consequence" which implies the singer is aware of, and trying to ignore, what could happen as a result of their relationship.

You're on the telephone
You're calling me on the phone

Telling me that she's gone
You're letting me know that the girl you were with is no longer by your side

Now we've been down this road
We've been in this situation before

A million times before
Many times before

'Cause it's a sweet sensation
It's a pleasant feeling

Thinking of all that hot temptation
Imagining all the exciting possibilities

You know it's going right where you want
You know things are heading in the direction you desire

Yeah, you know what's going on
You're aware of what's happening

I keep breaking my own rules playing your love fool
I keep disregarding my own standards and letting you take advantage of me

Trying to forget about the consequence
Trying not to think about the repercussions

We keep saying we should and yeah we know we could stop
We discuss that we should stop, but we're aware we have the ability to continue

But really what it all comes down to is
Ultimately, what matters most is

It feels so good
It brings immense pleasure

It feels so good when I'm in your arms
It's most enjoyable when I'm embraced by you

Don't you know, it feels so good
Do you not understand how gratifying it is?

You say it's dangerous
You say it's risky

You don't wanna be exposed
You don't want others to find out

But I know you're like a mess
But I know you're in a state of disarray

And you're not gonna let it go
And you're not going to give it up

It feels so good, feel so good
It's incredibly enjoyable

Just move with me
Just dance with me

Oh, won't you move with me?
Oh, won't you dance with me?
