"Do You Feel Like We Do" is a song by Peter Frampton originally appearing on the Frampton's Camel album that he released in 1973. The song became one of the highlights of his live performances in the following years, and it became one of the three hit singles released from his Frampton Comes Alive! album, released in 1976. The live version was recorded at the State University of New York Plattsburgh's Memorial Hall. This live version is featured in Guitar Hero 5 and as downloadable content for Rock Band 3. The studio version of the song is available as downloadable content for Rocksmith 2014.

The song was written and composed in the early 1970s with members of Frampton's band, then called "Frampton's Camel." It was released on the 1973 Frampton's Camel album. This version was shorter than the duration of the live version (approximately 14 minutes), with the studio recording totaling 6 minutes and 44 seconds, and it was not released as a single. The closing notes of the studio version features a guitar riff that has a strong resemblance to The Beatles's "Baby's in Black".

After the lack of success of his "Camel," Frampton performed under his own name and began touring the United States extensively for the next two years, supporting acts such as The J. Geils Band and ZZ Top, as well as performing his own shows at smaller venues. As a result, he developed a strong live following while his albums sold moderately and his singles failed to chart.

"Do You Feel Like We Do" became the closing number of his set and one of the highlights of his show. His concert version was considerably longer, with the version recorded on Frampton Comes Alive! alone exceeding 14 minutes, 4 of which are spent in the rock intro, 4 in the loud rock subito fortissimo outro, and 6 in the long, quiet bridge, featuring several instrumental solos utilizing Bob Mayo's keyboard and Frampton's guitar and talk box skills. Most famously of these were the aforementioned talk box solos, which were performed using na effects pedal that redirects a guitar's sound through a tube coming from the performer's mouth, allowing the guitar to mimic human speech, similarly to a vocoder. Inspiration for the talk box came from Frampton listening to the call letters of Radio Luxembourg. Following the success of the talk box solos, Frampton subsequently marketed such talk boxes under his own "Framptone" brand. To this day, Frampton is considered an exemplary talk box performer, with his solos arguably being the selling point of some of his albums and songs.

Well, woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand

Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?

Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been

Come on, let's do it again

Do you...you, feel like I do?

How'd ya feel?

Do you...you, feel like I do?

My friend got busted, just the other day

They said,"Don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away"

Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag

Had to play some music, otherwise he'd crack

Do you...you, feel like I do?

How'd ya feel?

Do you...you, feel like I do?

[1st guitar solo]

Do you...you, feel like I do?

Yes ya do

Do you...you, feel like I do?

Champagne for breakfast and a Sherman in my hand

Peach top, Peach tails, never fails

Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been

Come on, let's do it again

Do you...you, feel like I do?

How'd ya feel?

Do you...you, feel like I...

[keyboard solo]

Do you feel like we do?

Do you feel like we do?

Oh, that's true

Do you feel like we do?

Get back

Do you feel..do you feel like we do?

[2nd guitar solo]

Oh baby do you feel?

Oh baby do you feel, feel like we do?

Do you feel...do you feel...like we do?

I want to thank you

Do you feel like we do?

That's alright, that's alright to feel you'd like

Feel you'd like, a good time

We'll go to bed and good night

Good night, good night, good night, good night, good night.
