Over And Over Again
Brian McKnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finally we're alone
Turn off the telephone
This is the night
We've been waiting for so long

Only lit by candlelight
Laying by the fireside
I'm getting that feelin'
And it's comin' on so strong

I'm gonna stay with you
Play with you
I know exactly what to do
We're gonna take our time
Paradise is waiting for you
So lay back

Lay back
Relax
Close your eyes
Let me improvise
I only wish
To pleasure you
Over and over again

My time is in your hands
Your wish
Is my command
Tonight I'm gonna
Pleasure you
Over and over again

Every move a photograph
Feel your heart beating fast
In anticipation
Of what has yet to come, yeah

Every sound a symphony
As you give you love to me
And baby our time
Has only just begun

I'm gonna stay with you
Play with you
I know exactly what to do
We're gonna take our time
Paradise is waiting for you
So lay back

Lay back
Relax
Close your eyes
Let me improvise
I only wish
To pleasure you
Over and over again

My time is in your hands
Your wish
Is my command
Tonight I'm gonna
Pleasure you
Over and over again

There are many words
That I could say
Melodies
That I could play
To let you now the way I feel

I want you more than you know

Hope this feeling never ends
Let forever begin
We could be together for always

Lay back
Relax
Close your eyes
Let me improvise
I only wish
To pleasure you
Over and over again

My time is in your hands
Your wish
Is my command
Tonight I'm gonna




Pleasure you
Over and over again

I had been looking for this song for years! I had heard back in 2001 but lost that particular cd and my friends thought I was nuts talking about it. Love this song

Playto Muzik

This is the JAM!!!! Smooth to the hundredth degree!!!!!

MP

What a shame that this song was not released on any of his albums. If I remember correctly read that he released it overseas. This would have made a nice release here in the US.

Jon Betts

It wasn't released as such, but it was included in the Japanese version of 'Superhero'.

Roy Edwards

never gets old

MrBlactye

I have to say this is one those hidden gems people absolutely slept on. This a masterful of a masterpiece we can't get enough of. Brian please make more music like this. Because Love will always stand no matter the time and place we are in. Because God will always reign over everything.
