Tämä biisi on Lou Reedin Berlin-albumilta. Berlin on konseptialbumi, joka kertoo Jimistä ja hänen vaimostaan Carolinesta. Caroline on narkomaani, joka tekee mitä tahansa aineensa eteen.

How Do You Think It Feels kertoo siitä, kun Jimille selviää, että Caroline myy itseään pystyäkseen ylläpitämään yhä pahenevaa amfetamiiniaddiktiotaan.

”How do you think it feels
When you’re speeding and lonely
Come here baby
How do you think it feels
When all you can say is: If only

If only I had a little
If only I had some change
If only, if only, only
How do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops?

How do you think it feels
When you’ve been up for five days
Come down here Mama
Hunting around always
’Cause you’re afraid of sleeping

How do you think it feels
To feel like a wolf and foxy
How do you think it feels
To always make love by proxy?
How do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops?
When do you think it stops?”
