Lyrics: Are You Feelinā Me?
Sometimes I lie awake
Starring at the ceiling
Iāll have someone beside me
But she wonāt know your name
She wonāt be here long
Hell sheās almost a memory
Youāll never be really gone
Girl, are you feelinā me?[Chorus]
Do you fall asleep missinā my kiss in the dark?
Wake up the next morning not sure where you are?
Is it killinā you, like itās killinā me?
Are you lying there, lying to somebody else?
Trying to find the one thing I canāt find for myself?
When heās touching you, really touching you,
Are you feelinā me?You ever wish on a star that aināt fallinā,
Hoping you dreams will come true?
Pray for the day that you know itās comin,
well I do, baby I do, baby I do
Baby I do
[Chorus]
Do you fall asleep missinā my kiss in the dark?
Wake up the next morning not sure where you are?
Is it killinā you, like itās killinā me?
Are you lying there, lying to somebody else?
Trying to find the one thing I canāt find for myself?
When heās touching you, really touching you,
Are you feelinā me?
Oh, when heās touching you, are you feelinā me?
Are you feelinā me?
Are you feelinā me?
Oh, are you feelinā me?
Girl, are you feelinā me?
Oh, when heās touching you
