Got a Feelin'
Love's Deception: Unveiling the Betrayal in Wilson Phillips' 'Got a Feelin'
Lyrics
Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe;
Expressing a sense of wasting time on the person addressed as "babe."
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue.
Suspecting that the person has been unfaithful or dishonest.
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
Believing that the person is taking away the love intended for them.
All the love I thought I was giving to you.
Feeling that the love given is not reciprocated as expected.
Baby, it's true.
Acknowledging the truth of the situation.
Got a feelin' that you're playing some game with me babe;
Sensing that the person is playing games in the relationship.
Got a feelin' that you just can't see.
Feeling that the person is oblivious to certain truths.
If you're entertaining any thought that you're gaining
Warning against the idea of gaining by causing pain and sadness.
By causing me all of this pain and making me blue
Expressing the emotional impact caused by the person's actions.
The joke's on you.
Highlighting that the consequences of the person's actions will be on them.
When I get to feeling that you're stealing love
Feeling a sense of betrayal and theft of love.
And I don't know why, baby,
Expressing confusion and not understanding why the love is being taken away.
It makes me so discouraged
Feeling disheartened by the situation.
I finally get the courage not to cry, babe,
Gaining the courage to resist crying or trying to salvage the relationship.
Or even try, babe.
Emphasizing the difficulty in trying to continue.
Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe;
Reiterating the sense of wasting time on the person.
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue.
Repeating the suspicion of unfaithfulness or dishonesty.
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
Reiterating the feeling of love being taken away.
All the love I thought I was giving to you.
Reiterating the belief that intended love is not reaching the person.
Baby, it's true; the joke's on you.
Affirming the truth of the situation and reiterating that consequences are on the other person.
Baby it's true; the joke's on you.
Reaffirming that the consequences of the situation are on the other person.
