The Feeling Is Right
Embracing Desire: The Unspoken Passion in Clarence Carter's 'The Feeling Is Right'
Lyrics
Every time I'm with you darling
Expresses the positive impact of being with the person.
A fever comes over me, oh yeah
Describes a heightened emotional state, possibly passion or excitement.
And there's a burning deep inside
Indicates a profound and intense feeling within the speaker.
That just won't let me be, oh no
Conveys a persistent emotion that the speaker cannot ignore.
I tried to be patient baby
Shares the speaker's attempt to endure difficulties with patience.
But I just can't stand the pain, oh no
Expresses the difficulty the speaker has in tolerating pain.
And there's no time like right now darling
Highlights the urgency of the current moment for the speaker.
While we're alone again
Emphasizes the significance of being alone together.
The feeling is right
Declares that the emotional atmosphere is favorable.
And the time is right now
Emphasizes the immediacy of the present moment.
Now you say it, the feeling is right
Reiterates the positive emotional state and desire for love.
I got to have your love
Expresses the speaker's strong need for the person's love.
My desires won't wait forever darling
Communicates the speaker's sense of urgency regarding their desires.
My willpower's growing weak, oh yeah
Reveals a weakening resolve in resisting the speaker's desires.
And I can't fill this need inside
Expresses the unfulfilled need and reliance on promises.
With promises you won't keep, oh no
Points out the unkept promises and resulting dissatisfaction.
So put away your childish ways
Advises the person to mature and reveal their true self.
And let the woman in you shine, oh yeah
Encourages the person to embrace their feminine qualities.
And let a good thing come between us girl
Suggests a positive development in the relationship.
Get down with this love of mine
Encourages a deeper connection through shared love.
The feeling is right
Reiterates the rightness of the emotional state.
And the time is right now
Underlines the immediate appropriateness of the time.
Oh the feeling is right
Confirms the positive emotional state.
I got to have your love
Expresses the speaker's essential need for the person's love.
I said the feeling is right
Repeats the declaration of the rightness of the feeling.
And the time is right now
Reiterates the immediacy and appropriateness of the time.
Sometime you make me feel like
Expresses the fluctuating emotions induced by the person.
