Feelin Alright by The Jackson 5 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
Someone locked the door and turned the key

[Chorus]
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling good myself
Feeling alright
I don't have to feel alright
I'm feeling good myself
Boy you sure took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can't waste my time
I must keep trying

I've got to stop believing all your lies
'Cause there's to much to do before I die
[Chorus]
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling good myself
Feeling alright
I don't have to feel alright
I'm feeling good myself
Boy you sure took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can't waste my time
I must keep trying

[Verse 2]
Don't you get to lost in all I say
But at the time you know
I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know its today
Lord I can't escape I guess I'm here to stay
'Til someone comes along to take my place
With a different name and a different face

[Chorus]
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling good myself
Feeling alright
I don't have to feel alright
I'm feeling good myself
Boy you sure took me for a ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can't waste my time
I must keep trying
