Lyrics for Good Vibrations

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair I hear the sound of a gentle word On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me the excitations I'm pickin' up good vibrations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, excitations) She's giving me the good vibrations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, excitations) She's giving me the good vibrations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) Close my eyes She's somehow closer now Softly smile, I know she must be kind When I look in her eyes She goes with me to a blossom world I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me the excitations I'm pickin' up good vibrations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, excitations) She's giving me the good vibrations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, excitations) She's giving me the good vibrations (ooh bop, bop, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, excitation) I don't know where but she sends me there (Ah, my, my, what a sensation) (Ah, my, my, what elations) (Ah my, my, what) Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations A happenin' with her Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations A happenin' with her Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations Ah I'm pickin' up good vibrations (good, good, good, good vibrations) She's giving me the excitations (ooh bop, bop, excitations) She's giving me the good vibrations (good, good, good, good vibrations)
