Lyrics


I can't stop this feelin' deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me
When ya hold me in your arms so tight
You let me know everything's all right

I-I-I, I'm hooked on a feelin'
High on believin' that you're in love with me

Lips are sweet as candy, the taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine
I got it bad for you girl, but I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted and hope I can endure

All the good love when we're all alone
Keep it up, girl, yeah ya turn me on

I-I-I, I'm hooked on a feelin'
High on believin' that you're in love with me

All the good love when we're all alone
Keep it up, girl, yeah ya turn me on

I-I-I, I'm hooked on a feelin'
I'm high on believin' that you're in love with me

stll going. i always liked the way he sung. people say that he cannot hold a note like he use to. He is older, from what i have seen any singer from back in the days cannot hold that note that they use to. also i like his christian songs, they are great songs.

[avdehate]

Great for singing along!

[peacemaker1574]

That is a great song! I miss hearing him now....is he still making songs?

[zebratangozebra]

Would like to know who played the great sitar

[TheMagnoliagirl]

I enjoy his music so very much, thanks for sharing. Oh, and yeah buddy he' s handsome!!

[EyesOfFrozenMeat]

The singing is just too good for the wimpy instruments playing in what sounds like the background.

@tes1637 Great quote and great vocal!

[thisiswright]

The 'hook' to me has always been the twangy guitar intro (or is it a sitar ?), the clean, clear production, the catchy 'popness' of the song's melody, the simple, meaningful lyrics and of course the great vocals of BJ Thomas. In other words, this whole slice of music will always remain great and timeless ! Regards, IAN in Oz.

I saw hin live in the earley eighties, he was great and he said about himself "I'm an entertainer that's a Christian, not a Christian entertainer" really stuck with me.
