Lyrics[]

I feel good

I feel bad

I feel happy

I feel sad

Do you think I'm in love? (aahaah)

I must be in love

I feel rich (oooo, la la la)

I feel poor (oooo, la la la)

I'm in doubt (oooo, la la la)

I feel sure (oooo, la la la)

Am I in love? (aahaah)

I must be in love

Any time of the day I can see

(I can see her face)

Her face, when I close my eyes

Ooooooo!

She's a dream (she's a dream)

She is real (she is real)

Can't explain (can't explain)

How I feel (how I feel)

Am I in love? (aahaah)

I must be in love

Any time of the day I can see

(I can see her face)

Her face, when I close my eyes

Ooooooo!

Am I dead (oooo, la la la)

Or alive? (oooo, la la la)

Can my poor heart (oooo, la la la)

Survive? (oooo, la la la)

Am I in love? (aahaah) I must be in love

I feel good (I feel good)

I feel bad (I feel bad)

I feel happy (I feel happy)

I feel sad (I feel sad)

Am I in love? (aahaah)

I must be in love

I must be in love

I must be in love

I must be in love
