Oh No It's U Again
Cherrelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, that was good!

What's the matter with you, boy?
Can't you take a hint
Or is it that you like rejection?
No money in your pocket
No car to get around
Boy, you'll never win my affection

Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you screwing up my life
Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you screwing up my life
Hey!

Every time you call me
I always change my voice
And say that I am not at home
The average boy would give in
The average boy would quit
Why can't you leave me alone?
Hey!

Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you screwing up my life
Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you screwing up my life
Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you screwing up my life
Hey!

Yeah!
You know I didn't mean to turn you on

Sequent play!

Whoo!

Shut up!

Ha-hoo!

Oh, no!
Oh, no!

Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you messing up my life
Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you messing up my life
Oh no, it's you again
I told you that we were friends
I don't need you messing up my life
Hey!

I'm through
I'm through with you
Monte Moir, I need a solo!

Hey, hey wait a minute!
Where are my singers at?
Why don't you come on down
And help mommy out?

(Oh no, it's you again)
Whoo!
(Oh no, it's you again)

Hey!

Singers, won't you help me out!

(Oh no, it's you again)
Whoo!
Oh, I don't need you screwing up my
I don't need you messing my life

(Oh no, it's you again)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

(Oh no, it's you again)
Whoo!
That's it, we're done





Whoo!
So, when I started to get into that...

Cherelle was ahead of her time... The production of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis was Flawless.... Brings back memories of me when I was stationed in Germany. In the army in ' 1985....
