Lyrics

Got a Feelin'

[Verse 1]

Got a feelin' that I'm wastin' time on you babe

Got a feelin' that you've been untrue

I got a feelin' that you're stealin'

All the love I thought I was givin' to you, baby, it's true

[Verse 2]

Got a feelin' that you're playin' some game with me babe

Got a feelin' that you just can't see

If you're entertainin' any thought that you're gainin'

By causin' me all of this pain and makin' me blue

The joke's on you

[Verse 3]

When I get to feeling that you're stealing love

And I don't know why, baby it makes me so discouraged

I finally get the courage not to cry, babe

Or even try, babe

[Outro]

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe

Got a feelin' that you've been untrue

I got a feelin' that you're stealin'

All the love I thought I was givin' to you

Baby it's true, the joke's on you

Baby it's true, the joke's on you
