Joe Cocker - Feelin' Alright

Feelin' Alright?, also known as "Feeling Alright", is a song written by Dave Mason of the English rock band Traffic for their eponymous 1968 album Traffic. It was also released as a single, and failed to chart on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, but it did reach a bubbling under position of #123 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. Joe Cocker performed a more popular rendition of the song on his 1969 album With a Little Help from My Friends, that did chart in the U.S. Both Traffic's and Cocker's versions appear in the 2012 movie Flight. The song was also featured in the 2000 film Duets, sung by Huey Lewis.

Lyrics:
Seems I've got to have a... change of scene
Every night I have... the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way, yeah.. it could have been
Left here on my own or... so it seems
I've got to leave before I... start to scream
Won't someone lock the door and turn the key

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling too good myself
Yes, sir

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling that good myself

Boy you sure took me.. for one bad ride
And even now I sit... and I wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can't waste my time I must get by
I've got to stop believing... in all your lies
Hope there's too much to do before I die
Hey

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling too good myself
Oh no
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling that good little girl

INSTRUMENTAL

Don't you get too lost... in all I say
Hey--but at the time. you know, I really... felt that way
But that was then and now you know... its today
I can't get safe for I guess I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along and... take my place, yeah
With a different name, whoah.. and a different face

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling that good myself
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling that good myself

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling that good myself
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling good myself

Feeling alright
I'm not feeling too good myself
Feeling alright
I'm not feeling that good myself
