Feeling Alright
Traffic · Best Of Traffic [1969]
Cause everynight I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and took the key
Ya Feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' to good myself
Well, ya feelin' Alright
I'm not feelin to good myself
But boy you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
But when I think of you I start to cry
I just can't waste my time I must get by
Gotta stop believing in all your lies
Cause there's too much to do before I die
Ya feelin' alright
I'm not feelin to good myself
Well, ya feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' to good myself
Don't get too lost in all I say
Though at the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it is today
Can get up there and so I'm here to stay
Till' someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and yes a different face
Ya Feelin' alright
I'm not feelin to good myself
Well, ya feelin alright
I'm not feelin to good myself
Ya Feelin Alright
I'm not feelin alright
Well I hope your feelin alright
I'm not feelin to good myself
I'm not feeling to good myself
I'm not feelin to good myself
Alright...
