Good Feeling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Good feeling
Won't you stay with me just a little longer?
It always seems like you're leaving
When I need you here just a little longer

[Verse 2]
Oh, dear lady
There's so many things that I've come to fear
A little voice says I'm going crazy
To see all my worlds disappear

[Verse 3]
Vague sketch of a fantasy
Laughing at the sunrise like he's been up all night
Ooh, slipping and sliding, what a good time
But now I have to find a bed that can take this weight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Good feeling
Won't you stay with me just a little longer?
It always seems like you're leaving
When I know the other one just a little too well
[Verse 5]
Oh, dear lady
Won't you stay with me just a little longer?
You know it always seems, always seems like you're leaving
When I need you here just a little longer

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 [?]
