That certain feeling
The first time I met you;
I hit the ceiling,
I could not forget you!

You were completely sweet,
Oh what could I do?
I wanted phrases
To sing his praises!

That certain feeling,
The one that they all love;
No use concealing,
I've got what they call love!

Now we're together,
Let's find out whether
You're feeling that feeling too!

I felt it happen
Just as you came in view!
Grew sort of dizzy,
Thought, "Gee, who is he?".

That certain feeling,
I'm here to confess it,
Is so appealing,
No words can express it!

I cannot hide it,
I must confide it,
I'm feeling that feeling too!
