Once Again
Bongi Dube Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll see that I have change
I'm not the girl that I used to be
If it was before
I would say that it's okay
Now I'm tired of lies
Round and round we go
Again
Round and round we go
If you could take some time
You'll see that I have change
I'm not the girl that I used to be
If it was before,
I would say that it's okay
Now I'm tired of lies
Once again
Round and round we go
Again
Round and round we go
If it was before
I would say that it's okay
Now I'm tired of lies
If you could take some time,
You'll see that I have change
I'm not the girl that I used to be
If it was before
I would say that it's okay
Now I'm tired of lies
Once again
Round and round we go
Again
Round and round we go
In the song "Once Again" by Bongi Dube, the singer is addressing someone who has been dishonest with her. She is pleading for them to see that she has changed, and that she is not the same person she used to be when she would have let their lies slide. She is exhausted from the merry-go-round of their relationship, and seems to be at a breaking point where she is no longer willing to tolerate the lies that she once did. The repetition of "once again" and "round and round we go" emphasizes the cyclical nature of their relationship, and the frustration that comes with it.
The song is a powerful expression of the emotional toll that deceit can take on someone. It highlights the importance of honesty in any relationship, whether romantic or otherwise. The lyrics suggest a sense of personal growth and change, and a desire for those around the singer to recognize those changes. The repetition of the line "I'm not the girl that I used to be" further emphasizes this point, and shows that the singer is moving on from the past and becoming a stronger, more confident person.

If you could take some time
If you would just listen to me and give me a chance
You'll see that I have change
You will notice that I am different now
I'm not the girl that I used to be
I have grown and evolved into a new version of myself
If it was before
In the past, I would have overlooked your behavior
I would say that it's okay
I would have accepted your dishonesty
Now I'm tired of lies
But now I am fed up and cannot take it anymore
Once again
This situation repeats itself
Round and round we go
We keep going in circles
Again
It keeps happening
If it was before
In the past, I would not have stood up for myself
Now I'm tired of lies
But now I refuse to tolerate dishonesty and deceit
If you could take some time
If only you could give me a chance to explain
You'll see that I have change
You will see that I have transformed and grown
I'm not the girl that I used to be
I am a different person now, with a new perspective
If it was before
In the past, I would have given in and forgiven you
I would say that it's okay
I would have ignored your behavior
Now I'm tired of lies
But now I cannot turn a blind eye to deceit
Once again
This cycle keeps repeating itself
Round and round we go
We are stuck in this cycle of dishonesty and mistrust
Again
It keeps happening, without end
