[WOMAN 2]
\nWhat makes this whole wide world start boppin' along?
\nWhy can't I stop my fingers poppin' along?
\nWell, I have to tell you, my, my
\nMust be that I'm sky high
\nJust found myself my guy
\n
\n[WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nAnd I'm feeling pleased with myself (Ooh, she's very pleased)
\n
\n[MAN]
\nFound out my baby loves me, what do you know?
\nSomewhere God's rhythm section's startin' to go
\nWell now, everybody, hey there
\nYou can't swing and sway there
\nNobody can stay square
\n
\n[MAN & WOMAN 2]
\nWhen I'm feeling pleased with myself (Ooh, he's very pleased)
\n
\n[WOMAN 2, WOMAN 1 & MAN]
\nOh (Oh)
\nDid you ever reach high? (Oh) (Did you ever reach high?)
\nDid you ever reach high? (Grab)
\nGrab (Something out of the sky?) (Grab)
\nSomething out of the sky?
\nSomething out of the sky? (Do)
\nDo (What you doubted you could) (Do)
\nWhat you doubted you could? (What you)
\nDoubted you could? (You say you did?)
\n
\n[MAN & WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2]
\nHey, you said that you did (Don't it make you feel good?)
\n
\n[WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2, MAN]
\nDon't it make you feel good?
\nDon't it make you wanna
\nSing and dance and shout and feel in (Sing)
\nTune with it all? (Sing and dance and shout and feel in)
\nNo passerby can feel immune (Tune with it all?)
\nTo it all (No passerby)
\nWell, I really have to speak out (Can feel immune)
\nThe truth's gonna leak out (Ooh)
\nIf you start to freak out (Ooh)
\nIt's just 'cause I'm pleased
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nPleased with myself!
\n
\nLa la la la la la la, la la la la
\nLa la la la la la la, la la la la
\nWell now, everybody, hey there
\nI want you to play fair
\nNobody can stay square
\nWhen I'm feelin' pleased with myself
\n
\n[MAN, spoken, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 1]
\nI wanna try a little experiment (Oh, did you ever reach high?)
\nI want all of you to focus in (Did you ever reach high?)
\nOn a single moment in your life
\nAnd the moment I'm talking about (Grab) (Grab)
\nIs when you're with someone who (Something out of the sky?)
\nWell, they not just liked you (Something out of the sky?)
\nThey not just laughed when you laughed (Do)
\nBut they sent you a signal (What you doubted you could?) (Do)
\nAnd you knew (What you doubted)
\nYou actually knew (You could?)
\nThat you were loved back (You say you did?)
\n(Well, you say that you did)
\nNow do you recall that time? (Don't it make you feel good?)
\nDo you remember that moment? (Don't it make you feel good?)
\nDo you?
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nDon't it make you wanna
\nSing and dance and shout and bounce life off of the wall?
\n
\n[WOMAN 1]
\nAh, ah, ah, ah
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nThe world has rhythm 'cause you're loved after all
\n
\n[WOMAN 2]
\nDa dya da da, da ya ah da da
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN]
\nHey there, you
\nI'm thinkin' you've been there too
\nIf you feel that doo wah doo
\nIt's just 'cause I'm pleased
\nPleased, very pleased with myself
\n
\n[WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2]
\nI'm pleased, pleased with myself
\nI'm pleased with myself
\n
\n[WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2 & MAN, spoken]
\nAren't you?\n\n
