B.J. Thomas ~ Hooked on a feeling (1968) lyrics

Great song from B.J. Thomas!
The song reached #3 on Canadian Charts, and #5 on US Billboard!

After the lyrics, I added a part of B.J. Thomas's Biography from his website, just for the insight into the man and his outlook on life & family :)

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'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

[Instrumental Interlude]

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

[Instrumental to end]

Composed by Mark James.
Taken from my disc 'Rock n' Roll Reunion Class of 68 Original Artists'.

********************************************************************************­*****

"B.J. has shown a comparable resilience. He married Gloria at the Chapel of the Bells in Las Vegas just weeks before 'Hooked on a Feeling' hit the Top 10. Their relationship remains intact nearly 40 years later, a tangible sign of his sincerity in his find-the-silver-lining musical themes. "We've always had each other, even through the hard, wild, stupid, crazy times," he says. "She was just right there for me, and I've been there for her, too. If there's anything that got me to today it was having her."

She's still there, running their management company as B.J. reinvigorates his public persona, one that very much reflects his desire to convey some basic meaning to both his daughters and his fans.

"That's been a real positive, wonderful thing that's a part of the music that I've been a part of—making someone lift their head up or making someone feel OK," he says.

"All I am is just another guy. I've been very lucky. I've had a wonderful life, I've been a husband and a father who cherishes his children and now I'm a grandfather, and I'm motivated like all these teachers and preachers and mothers and fathers to help my kids grow up with character and self-respect. I hope that doesn't sound too grandiose, but that's what it comes down to. It's what I've tried to do with my music and with the majority of my life."

That he has succeeded at home and still maintained a place as one of music's most recognizable voices is truly remarkable."
