Unofficial studio version #2
Three, four
Hey girl, won't you come out tonight
You fear the world
And baby just come dry your eyes
Because we gotta get that feeling
You wanna get that feeling
Oh back again, yeah back again
And it's alright
Don't you worry about your world that I got tonight
Whoa don't you worry it's alright, the stars shining bright
And I'll leave it in your eye, how did we ever
Yes we'll be forever, and it'll be alright
Now there's a moon
And there's a dream way up above
And it starts soon
Well come on and come on and show your love
And we gotta get that feeling, gotta get that
We gotta get that feeling
Whoa back up, back again
We gotta get it back again
Yes we gotta get that feeling, gotta get that feeling
Gotta get that feeling, in the new world
Gotta get that feeling, gotta get that
Whoa love me tonight, forever again tonight
Whoa and let these arms defend your eyes
And we'll kiss forever and ever, and you will hold me tight

Prior to the release of The Promise in 2010, two studio takes of GOTTA GET THAT FEELING had been circulating on bootlegs. One was recoded in August 1977 (probably the 12th) at Atlantic Studios in New York City, and another was recoded in September or October 1977 at The Record Plant in New York City. Bootleggers have used the title GET THAT FEELING for this song.
The above lyrics are for the unofficial take recorded at The Record Plant. It can be found on the Deep Down In The Vaults (E. St. Records) bootleg.
This version shows Springsteen's song-making process, as he yells out key changes in the middle of the track.
