"Hooked on a Feeling" is a 1968 pop song, written by Mark James and originally performed by B. J. Thomas. Thomas's version featured the sound of the electric sitar (played by Reggie Young) and reached No. 5 in 1969 on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] It has been recorded by many other artists, including Blue Swede, whose version reached No. 1 in the United States in 1974.

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, I'm hooked on a feeling
High on believing
That you're in love with me

Lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine

I got it bad for you, girl
But I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up, girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I, I'm hooked on a feeling
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, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
