about

Here Elliman teams up with Who member Pete Townsend while she was running around with Eric Clapton and Leon Russell of all people. She SCREAMS this one out with more force and rock than anybody knew existed in her. She has many times stated that this album was her favorite to record because it allowed her to be completely honest in her music. It shows! And with a ROCKER like this one, How can you go wrong? Elliman has a full gospel chorus with her here, making this one helluvan effort! First of it's kind! I CAN explain her awesomeness!

Edit Lyrics Edit Song Facts

Got a feeling inside (Can't explain)
A certain kind (Can't explain)
I feel hot and cold (Can't explain)
All down my soul yeah (Can't explain)
I said (Can't explain)
I'm feeling good now buh (Can't explain)

I'm dizzy in my head and I'm feeling blue
Things you say well maybe they're true
Getting funny dreams again and again
I know what it means but

Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue
But I can't explain (can't explain)
Yeah hear what I say boy (can't explain)

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad
Things you say they've got me real mad
Getting funny dreams again and again
I know what it means but

Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say to you
When I feel blue
But I can't explain (can't explain)
Well give me one more chance (can't explain)
Ooh well I can't explain
Ooh going out of my mind (Can't explain)
Can't I'm a worried kind (Can't explain)
You love me but I can't explain


Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue
But I can't explain (can't explain)
And hear what I say, boy (can't explain)
Can't explain, can't explain
I think it's love, but I can't (explain) explain
