It took a long time
But now I’m gonna be laughing
A very long time
When all I could feel was sad
A very long time
But now it’s gonna be worth it
Cause I just found a friend to make me glad

I’m feeling food, feeling better
I’m feeling best
I feel a cut above the rest
I’m gonna put it to the test
Feeling good, feeling better
Feeling best
Feeling good, feeling better
I’m feeling best

I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m blowing my own trumpet
Cause all I wanna do is join up with the band
When you feel good
You gotta come right out and say it
I’ve been so long at sea and I’ve just seen land

I’m feeling food, feeling better
I’m feeling best
I feel a cut above the rest
I’m gonna put it to the test
Feeling good, feeling better
Feeling best
Feeling good, feeling better
I’m feeling best
