"I've Got a Feeling" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Recorded by John Lennon (Demo 1968)

Everyone had a hard year
Everyone had a good time
Everyone had the boot in
Everyone saw the sun shine

Everyone had a hard year
Everyone let their hair down
Everyone pulled their socks up
Everyone put their feet down

Everyone had a hard year
Everyone put their feet up
Everyone had a face-lift
Everyone had a new cup

Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone
Everyone, everyone

Everyone had a hard year
Everyone had a good time
Everyone had the boot in
Everyone saw the sun shine

Everyone had a hard year
Everyone let their hair down
Everyone pulled their socks up
Everyone put their feet down

Everyone had a good time
Everyone put their feet up
Everyone had a wrong time
Everyone had a wrong time



Original Manuscript (1969)

I've got a feeling
A feeling deep inside - oh yeah
I've got a feeling
A feeling I can't hide. Oh no.

Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sun shine
Oh yeah oh yeah

As Released by the Beatles (1970)

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah (that's right).
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no, no - oh no, oh no.
Yes, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah.

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, (yeah) oh yeah
And if you leave me, I won't be late again
Oh no, oh no, oh no, yeah, yeah!

I've got a feeling, yeah, I've got a feeling.
All these years I've been wandering round the world
Wondering really how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody who looked like you.

Ooo I've got a feeling that keeps me on my toes
Oh yeah, oh yeah ((oh yeah))
I've got a feeling I think that everybody knows
Oh yeah, oh yeah ((oh yeah)), oh yeah - yeah, yeah!
I've got a feeling yeah - (yeah).

Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sun shine
Oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah, oh yeah.

(Yeah) everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up (yeah)
Everybody put the fool down, oh yeah - (yeah)

Ooo - hu, everybody had a good year ((I've got a feeling))
Everybody had a hard time ((a feeling deep inside, oh yeah))
Everybody had a wet dream (oh yeah)
Everybody saw the sun shine.

Everybody had a good year ((I've got a feeling))
Everybody let their hair down ((a feeling I can't hide, oh no))
Everybody pulled their socks up (oh no, no)
Everybody put their foot down, oh yeah (yeah).

I've got a feeling ((oh yeah))
I've got a feeling (oh yeah)
I've got a feeling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh my soul.
Oh it's so hard.
