(e. holland/l. dozier/b. holland)



Feelin' feelin', rockin' and a reelin' (x2)

When you're in my arms, darlin'

When you're in my arms, ooh

Chorus:

I get a feelin', feelin'

Got me rockin' and a reelin'

Oh, I'm crazy 'bout your love buttercup

Your kinda love, can't get enough

You shake me up, you break me up

Every time your lips meet mine

I feel a poundin', poundin'

Oh, and I can't stand it, stand it

When you lock me in your embrace

And breathlessly you kiss my face

I feel a strange sensation

Oh, and I can't stand it, stand it

Chorus



When you take control of my very soul

Everytime you're close to me

I feel a quiverin' shakin'

Oh, and I can't stand it, stand it

I touch your lips, your fingertips

I get a lovin' reaction, soul satisfaction

Darlin' you know I can't stand it, stand it

Chorus



Feelin' feelin', rockin' and a reelin' (x2)

Heartbreakin', soul shakin'

Everlovin', breathtakin'

You're electrifying

Soul satisfying

When you walk in the room

Right away I start to swoon

I don't know what cha' got

Oh, but what it is, I like a lot

Chorus (x3)
