Nina Simone - Feelin' Better lyrics

[Intro] Birds flyin' high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by You know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day It's a new life for me, yeah It's a new dawn, it's a new day It's a new life for me Oooh [Verse] I've succeeded my limits but I can't wrap my head around reasons I didn't before When my motives were good Whatever, sit back Smoke a little bit Until I'm feelin' so good Some things change, I heard you're leavin' the city Even the bridge we met underneath is peacin' our city Where a couple of friends and I met And you learned to skip rocks I can't stop staring at you do it There's so much beauty in your movement Uhn Not f**in' around I'mma try and keep it simple I got a real thing happenin' when I look at those dimples I'm wired for action Thinkin' real real fast I'm pa**ing all your tests Like you're the hot teacher And I'm the best student in your cla** We came together but I should bury this hatchet I hate the loneliness like I hate my other habits Deprived, and I gotta have it Can't even think of anything witty to say your way I'm just smirkin' that kinda way Ooh Carpets with rose pedals and all the romance and sh** In the mirror like yeah boy that's who you are And don't you ever let go of it Being drunk ain't in love Only good luck and a start Feels like a mystery to me Some new trials for my heart If I learn my lesson I'll have something to show of it Bottles of Tanqueray, pour me a gla** Add a little tonic so this doesn't head south too fast So utterly lost in your blouse Filet mignon and sushi at hibachi's just so we don't have to do dishes I counted 30 to 40 kisses but still didn't call you my misses We're tryin' to keep it secret But I could hear your whisper your wishes If only I'd have listened It'da probably been different [Bridge] Look I'm feelin' better, but different I'm like We can try again if it's of interest But I can understand if it isn't Knowin' me So tenacious But I missed it Right now let's get down to this [Outro]
