Nina Simone
Feelin’ Better
[Intro]
Birds flyin' high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me
Oooh
[Verse]
I've succeeded my limits but
I can't wrap my head around reasons I didn't before
When my motives were good
Whatever, sit back
Smoke a little bit
Until I'm feelin' so good
Some things change, I heard you're leavin' the city
Even the bridge we met underneath is peacin' our city
Where a couple of friends and I met
And you learned to skip rocks
I can't stop staring at you do it
There's so much beauty in your movement
Uhn
Not fuckin' around I'mma try and keep it simple
I got a real thing happenin' when I look at those dimples
I'm wired for action
Thinkin' real real fast
I'm passing all your tests
Like you're the hot teacher
And I'm the best student in your class
We came together but I should bury this hatchet
I hate the loneliness like I hate my other habits
Deprived, and I gotta have it
Can't even think of anything witty to say your way
I'm just smirkin' that kinda way
Ooh
Carpets with rose pedals and all the romance and shit
In the mirror like yeah boy that's who you are
And don't you ever let go of it
Being drunk ain't in love
Only good luck and a start
Feels like a mystery to me
Some new trials for my heart
If I learn my lesson I'll have something to show of it
Bottles of Tanqueray, pour me a glass
Add a little tonic so this doesn't head south too fast
So utterly lost in your blouse
Filet mignon and sushi at hibachi's just so we don't have to do dishes
I counted 30 to 40 kisses but still didn't call you my misses
We're tryin' to keep it secret
But I could hear your whisper your wishes
If only I'd have listened
It'da probably been different
[Bridge]
Look
I'm feelin' better, but different
I'm like
We can try again if it's of interest
But I can understand if it isn't
Knowin' me
So tenacious
But I missed it
Right now let's get down to this
[Outro]
