I got the feeling
I am experiencing a strong emotion or sensation.
Baby, baby
Addressing affectionately or emphasizing the emotional state with repetition.
I got the feeling
Reiteration of the intense emotion or sensation mentioned in line 1.
You don't know what you do to me
Expressing the impact of someone's actions on the speaker.
People are heavy, down in misery
Observation of people being burdened and unhappy.
Hey, yeah, alright
Positive affirmation and excitement.
Hey, hey, good Lord
Acknowledging a higher power or expressing amazement with a spiritual reference.
I got the feeling, alright

Baby, baby, baby
Repeatedly addressing or emphasizing affection towards someone.
Baby, baby, baby

Baby, sometimes I'm up
Describing emotional ups and downs, possibly in a relationship context.
Sometimes I'm down
-My heart, I'm around the town
-I'm level with the ground, baby
Being emotionally grounded or stable despite challenges.
I said level with the ground
-Well, baby, you treat me bad
Acknowledging mistreatment from someone.
No, no, I know no, you don't mean it now
Denying the sincerity of mistreatment, suggesting it's not intentional.
Sometimes, I roam
Expressing the speaker's wandering or indecision in a relationship.
But I'll be coming back home
-Sometimes, I seem to be fly
-I just don't know when to say bye bye
-Hey baby, baby
Reiteration of the intense emotion mentioned earlier.
I got that feeling, baby

Baby, baby, baby

-Come on now

Come on now
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
