[Intro]
Ooh
Woah, sometimes I get a good feeling
Ooh
Yeah, I get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before, no
Ooh
And I believe, I, I, I believe
Ooh
And I got to tell you right now
Okay now, easy, let down

[Chorus]
Something's got a hold on me, oh no
(Woah, it must be love)
Woah, something's got a hold on me, must be love, yeah
(Woah, it must be love)
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
I got a funny feeling, I feel so strange
And everything about me has seemed to change
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk

[Pre-Chorus]
Said woah (Yeah)
Woah (Yeah)
Woah, woah (Woah)
Woah (Woah)
I said yeah, yeah, yeah
It must be love
(Woah, it must be love)
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Something's got a hold on me, yeah, it's a rude feeling
(Woah, it must be love)
Yeah, sing a song, something's got a hold on me, won't let go
Let me hear you now
(Woah, it must be love)
Oh, alright

[Verse 2]
I got a feeling, I feel so strange
And everything about me has seemed to change
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I believe I'd die if I only could
I feel so strange, but sure is good

[Pre-Chorus]
Said woah (Yeah)
Woah (Yeah)
Woah, woah (Woah)
Woah (Woah)
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It must be love

Clap your hands (Clap your hands)
You know you want my love (You want my love)
Yeah, yeah, want my love (You want my love)
It makes me feel alright (Makes me feel alright)
Ooh, ooh

Darling, da-da-da-da (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, darling, now (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I think I got to scream (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I got to, got to scream

The Righteous Brothers were a musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hailing from Orange County, California. They were originally members of The Paramours but began performing as a duo in 1962 after breaking off from the group.

Their first hit track was “You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin” but they released many other hits during their career.

The duo was active through the 1960s and 70s, and after a long split, they reunited in 1981 and performed up until Hatfield’s death in 2003. In 2016, Medley reformed the group with Bucky Heard.
