Lyrics

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

I can’t stop this feeling

Deep inside of me

Girl, you just don’t realize

What you do to me

When you hold me

In your arms so tight

You let me know

Everything’s all right

I’m hooked on a feeling

That you’re in love with me

Lips as sweet as candy

Its taste is on my mind

Girl, you got me thirsty

For another cup of wine

Got a bug from you girl

But I don’t need no cure

I’ll just stay a victim

If I can for sure

All the good love

When we’re all alone

Keep it up girl

Yeah, you turn me on

I’m hooked on a feeling

I’m high on believing

That you’re in love with me

All the good love

When we’re all alone

Keep it up girl

Yeah, you turn me on

I’m hooked on a feeling

I’m high on believing

That you’re in love with me

I’m hooked on a feeling

And I’m high on believing

That you’re in love with me

I said I’m hooked on a feeling

And I’m high on believing

That you’re in love with me

I’m hooked on a feeling
