[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Got a feeling inside (Can't explain)
It's a certain kind (Can't explain)
I feel hot and cold (Can't explain)
Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (Can't explain)
I said (Can't explain)
I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (Can't explain)
[Pre-Chorus]
Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but
[Chorus]
Can't explain, I think it's love
Try to say it to you when I feel blue
But I can't explain (Can't explain)
Yeah, hear what I'm sayin', girl (Can't explain)
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad
The things you've said have got me real mad
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means but
[Chorus]
Can't explain, I think it's love
Try to say it to you when I feel blue
But I can't explain (Can't explain)
But give me more try now, yeah (Can't explain)
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I said I can't explain, yeah (Can't explain)
You drive me out of my mind (Can't explain)
Yeah, I'm the worrying kind, babe (Can't explain)
I said I can't explain
