[Verse 1]

I got this strange, strange feelin'

Deep down in my heart

I can't tell what it is, but it won't let go

It happens every time


[Verse 2]

I give you more than what I have

But now all I need is a little time, oh, to sing a song

And I think we're gonna find

A way to lose this strange feelin'


[Verse 3]

All around I feel ya, darlin', feel ya, darlin'

When you're home all alone

Oh, don't you need

Somebody to talk your troubles to


[Verse 4]

Ah, Lord, I know I wanna catch the morning train

Lord, break the day

Oh, I long to hear you say we're gonna take that strange feelin'

Oh, take it all away


[Verse 5]

Well, it's just like a mockingbird-a singing on a hillside

He chirping at his mornin' song

But don't you weep, don't you fret, don't you wail, don't you moan

Can't you hear that whip-poor-will-a callin'?


[Verse 6]

Now don't you worry, your daddy's comin' home

He's gonna chase those blues away

And believe me when I say

You're gonna lose that strange feelin' all around, all around
