Over And Over
Day Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody went stag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
All at once it happened
Well the prettiest in this world
Please a-won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
I said won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
Please won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
She said that she was sorry
That I was a little bit late
She would wait and wait and wait and wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
Now, my poor heart was broken
All of my life, where had she been
But I'll try over and over and over
And over again
I'll try over and over
And over and over again
I will try over and over
And over and over again
The lyrics to Day Bobby's "Over and Over" tell a story of a boy who goes to a dance and is not excited about it because he believes it will be boring. However, he meets a girl who he finds to be the prettiest in the world, and he wants to get to know her better. Unfortunately, she tells him that she is waiting for her steady date and cannot be his girl. The boy's heart is broken, but he vows to keep trying to find love, singing "I'll try over and over and over and over again."
The song conveys the universal theme of the pursuit of love and the ongoing search for connection. The boy's initial reluctance to attend the dance represents how people often approach life with apprehension, feeling like things might not work out in our favor. However, the unexpected introduction of the girl creates new possibility and hope. Despite the rejection, the boy does not give up on finding love, and is prepared to keep trying over and over again.
Overall, "Over and Over" is a relatable and timeless track that speaks to life's constant search for love and companionship, as well as the perseverance required to overcome obstacles in pursuit of our goals.

Well, I went to a dance the other night
I attended a dance recently
Everybody went stag
No one brought a date to the dance
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
I kept repeating that the dance would be boring
All at once it happened
Well the prettiest in this world
Suddenly, the most beautiful woman in the world appeared
Please a-won't you come over and talk to me
And be my girl
I asked her to talk to me and be my girlfriend
She said that she was sorry
That I was a little bit late
She apologized for me being late
She would wait and wait and wait and wait
For her steady date
She said she was waiting for her regular date
Now, my poor heart was broken
All of my life, where had she been
My heart was shattered because I had never met her before
But I'll try over and over and over
And over again
I will keep trying to find love, no matter how many times I fail
I'll try over and over
And over and over again
I will never give up on love, and will continue trying

This was the first 45 I bought as a teenager. Rockin Robin didn't become a hit until later.

Don't remember how BIG this record really was across the country. One of the best 50's sounds ever
