Lyrics

  1. Knew it from the start
    Love would play a part
    Felt that feeling come a-stealing
    In my lonesome heart
    It would be ideal
    If that’s the way you feel
    But tell me is it really real?

Refrain
You gave me 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 your praises
That certain feeling
The one that they all love
No use concealing
Ive got what they call love Now were together
Lets find out whether Youre feeling that feeling, too

  1. I have symptoms, too
    Just the same as you
    When they centered, when they entered
    In my heart, I knew
    Brighter is the day
    Since you’ve come my way
    Believe it when you hear me say

Refrain
You gave me that certain feeling
The first time I met you
That certain
I could not forget you
I felt it happen
Just as you came in view
Grew sort of dizzy
Thought, “Gee, who is he?”
That certain feeling
Im here to confess it Is so appealing No words can express it I can not hide it, I must confide it Im feeling that feeling, too
