I (WE) WROTE THIS SONG:

“Feel Something”

(verse)
We got a shy guy
Look at you sitting
there with your sly eyes
It’s like I’m staring
into some blue skies
So don’t bring the rain
You’re driving me
insane, boy

(pre chorus)
This may be something
new
So baby don’t be shy and
just do what you came to do
If you don’t wanna move
just get along

Just get along (ohhh)
(chorus)
Feel something
Get up out your seat you
gotta
Feel something
It’s time to move your
feet
Because I know one thing
It’s time to lose
control
And just feel something…

Feel it better now

Now (4x)
(verse)
It’s not your first time
So don’t you give me one
of your fake lines
You could be a good
friend of mine
If you find the heart to
dance
So come and take a
chance now
(pre chorus)
(chorus 3x)
