Do It Again
Brian Connolly's Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll do it again
If I have to love you from afar
You'll do it again
Before we get too far
And I'll hurt you again
Baby if you'll hurt me one more time

'Cause love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real

I'll do it again
I will let you take me for a ride
You'll do it again
Start opening then hide
And I'll hurt you again
Baby if you'll hurt me one more time

'Cause love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real
I'll do it again...

A love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real

And I'll hurt you again
Baby if you'll hurt me one more time
'Cause love that's bad
Is better than none
You know breaking up is half of the fun
And who would want a dream
That can't be real




I'll do it again
I'll do it again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brian Connolly's song Do It Again seem to describe a toxic and dysfunctional relationship between two people who are always hurting each other, yet cannot stay away from each other. The chorus repeats the idea that their love, even if it's bad, is better than nothing - the thrill of getting back together is part of the fun. Additionally, the lyrics suggest that these two individuals are willing to hurt each other again, as long as they get to experience the love they share, even if it's not healthy.


The first verse hints at the possibility that the two lovers are unable to be together physically or perhaps emotionally, "If I have to love you from afar." The verse then goes on to say that this cycle will happen again, as they both have a tendency to "start opening then hide." The second verse follows the same theme, with the lover acknowledging their past mistakes and stating that they will do it again.


Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the often tumultuous and painful nature of love. As the chorus repeats, they would rather have this love even if it's not perfect, rather than being alone. The lyrics suggest that sometimes even a bad relationship is still better than living without love.
