Dakota Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thinkin' back, thinkin' of you
Summertime, think it was June
Yeah, think it was June
Laying back, head on the grass
Chewing gum, having some laughs
Yeah, having some laughs

[Chorus]
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one


[Verse 2]
Drinking back, drinking for two
Drinking with you
When drinking was new
Sleeping in the back of my car
We never went far
Didn't need to go far


[Chorus]
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one

[Bridge]
I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now

[Verse 3]
Wake up call, coffee and juice
Rememberin' you
What happened to you?
I wonder if we'll meet again
Talk about life since then
Talk about why did it end

[Chorus]
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one
You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one

[Bridge]
I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now

[Outro]
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now
So take a look at me now, now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

On their fifth record, Stereophonics finally cracked the mainstream with “Dakota,” a song that shot to the top of the UK Singles Chart, and went Gold in the United Kingdom. They’d never again reach such heights, or impact upon the US charts.

The track is a straight up and down love song, characterised by electronic atmospherics and an energetic chorus. The music video gives the impression of an American road trip, with a Mustang featured in front of a green screen, possibly adding to the appeal of the song in the US.
