1. Ah! I love the colorful clothes she wears,
and the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
Ahhhhhh! 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 givin' me the excitations.
I'm pickin' up good vibrations, she's givin' me the excitations.

Good, good, good, good vibrations, she's givin' me the excitation.
Good, good, good, good vibrations, she's givin' me the excitations.

2. 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.

REFRAIN

My, my, my, what e(lation),
I don`t know where, but she sends me there.
My, my, my, what a sen(sation),
My, my, my, what elation.

(Gotta keep those love good
Vibrations are happening with her) x3

Ahhhhhh!
