In 1971, Jonathan King decided to do a cover version of the 1968 hit “Hooked On A Feeling” by B. J. Thomas. For whatever reason, King decided that the song needed a bouncy “reggae” intro in the form of the now famous “Ooga Chaka” chant. Other than this addition, King kept his cover lyrically faithfu...
[Intro]
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
[Verse 1]
I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me
[Verse 2]
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right
[Chorus]
I'm hooked on a feeling
High on believing
That you're in love with me
[Verse 3]
Lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine
[Verse 4]
Got it bad for you girl
But I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on
[Chorus]
Hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
[Bridge]
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on
[Chorus]
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
[Chorus]
Hooked on a feeling
High on believing
That you're in love with me
[Chorus]
Hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
