All Over And Over
Same little Stuff
Ohh Woah}
Why you gon give me back my chain
And you ain't even gon give me
It's so typical
We been here before
Ain't nuthin changed
Why you gon give me back my chain
We just been through this babe
It's just like Groundhog Day
Like yesterday
And the day before
And the day before that
You gon say that I'm a big liar
You gon say you gettin sick and tired
Ooh your trippin
Girl I'm outta here
But this is how we play
Baby its okay
Girl I wanna do it all over again
Come on lets do it like we always do
Break up and make up and break up
And then we're making up
Here we go again
Oh girl
Can we argue all over
Get jealous all over
Cuz I like gettin back with you
Baby ooh
Lets do it over and over
All Over and over again
You always wear that dress i like
On the very same day
That we just had a fight
That's so typical
We been here before
Ain't nothin changed {Ooh}
All your girls stay in our biz
It's like they know before we
When even call it quits
When you throw your fits
I get over it
I can't even get mad
You gon' say that I'm a big liar
You gon say you gettin sick and tired
Ooh your trippin
Girl I'm outta here
But this is how we play
Baby its okay
Girl I wanna do it all over again (All Over Again)
Come on lets do it like we always do (we always do)
Oh girl (Girl)
Can we argue all over (all over)
Get jealous all over (all over)
Cuz I like gettin back with you (I like gettin back with you)
Baby ooo (Baby ooo)
Lets do it over and over
Over and over again
You know I ain't gon leave
We mean too much to me
Even though we go through these changes
On the regular girl
If it was any other girl
I'll be gone like yesterday
Cause you are all i need
How come everyday your lookin to fuss
Got a young man wantin to cuss
I know you know
Got it feelin real serious
This love is real serious {serious}
You be rockin the flow
Then you come back for more
Back back fourth fourth back
I guess thats how she roll
Girl I wanna do it all over again (All over)
Come on lets do it like we always do
Break up and make up and break up (we always do)
And then we're making up (and then we make up)
Here we go again (Here we go,here we go)
Oh girl (oh)
Can we argue all over (argue all over)
Get jealous all over (all over)
Cuz I like gettin back with you (I like getting back with you)
Baby ooo
Lets do it over and over
Over and over again
Repeat til' fade
The opening lyrics of B.B. King and Mark Knopfler's collaboration song "All over again" seem to suggest a deep despair and frustration with life. The line "I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead" hints at the possibility of suicide, as the singer is considering giving up on life altogether. This is further emphasized by the second line, which suggests that the singer desires to pick up a tombstone, a strong symbol of death. The singer's thoughts of death are further solidified by the third line, where they express the desire to be pronounced dead.
However, the origin of this despair is revealed in the subsequent lyrics, where the singer talks about receiving a letter from their lover who has decided to leave them. The lines "I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed" reveal that the singer's lover has already left, and they are left feeling empty and without hope. This is further emphasized in the following lines, as the lover states that the relationship is over and there is no hope of reconciliation. The repetition of "it's all over now" at the end of the song further solidifies the finality of the singer's situation.
Overall, "All over again" is a song that explores the depths of despair and heartbreak that can result from the end of a relationship. The singer feels hopeless and considers giving up on life altogether, which speaks to the intensity of their pain.

I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I am so worn out that I feel like giving up on life and indulging in material possessions instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I repeat, I am seriously contemplating abandoning life and resorting to worldly luxury
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
I intend to purchase a burial monument and declare myself dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
This morning, I came across your letter lying on your side of the bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read the letter you wrote, which was left on your side of the bed
That's when I decided, that I would be better off dead
Upon reading your letter, I concluded that it would be best for me to cease existing
It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
The letter stated that you should cease attempting to recover our relationship
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
To reiterate, there is no reason for you to search for me or anticipate a reconciliation
Yes, because it's all over now, and you can bet on that
Indeed, our relationship has concluded, and that is an outcome you can be assured of

I know how much Mark loves to rehearse, especially when he plays with others. You can tell they did not rehearse much, as their timing seems to be off!
@jacobscherlinger3953
BB didn’t record any of this in the studio with anyone. I think it was all play back.

OH MY GOD BB KING and MK
