Lyrics
CHORUS
Feelings, feelings.
They're a part of me.
Feelings, feelings.
Hey I just want to be me!
Oh I feel happy, I feel happy.
When you smile at me.
I feel happy, oh so happy.
When you smile at me.
CHORUS
Oh I feel safe, I feel safe.
When you hold my hand.
I feel safe, oh so safe
When you hold my hand.
CHORUS
Oh I feel proud, I feel proud.
When you say "well done".
I feel proud, oh so proud.
When you say "well done".
CHORUS
Oh I feel loved, I feel loved.
When you give me a hug.
I feel loved, oh so loved.
When you give me a hug.
CHORUS
Oh I feel special, I feel special.
When you say "I love you".
I feel special, oh so special.
When you say "I love you".
