Say It Again
Dinah Eastwood Lyrics

In "Say It Again," Dinah Eastwood is expressing her feelings of doubt and insecurity in a relationship, despite her partner's constant reassurances of love. The first verse describes her partner's carefree and open nature, which contrasts with her own uncertainty and need for affirmation. She longs to hear "three little words" (presumably "I love you") from her partner's mouth, but fears that even if they are said, she will still doubt their sincerity. Her vulnerability is emphasized in the chorus, where she pleads for her partner to say "it" (presumably "I love you") again, and to mean it this time, so she can believe in their love. She acknowledges that she should trust her partner's words, but her past experiences have made her doubt that anyone could truly love her. Despite this, she is willing to reciprocate her partner's love if she can hear those three little words one more time.

The second verse continues to express Dinah's uncertainty, but also highlights the safety and comfort she feels in her partner's hands. She is still unable to understand why someone like her partner could love someone like her. The chorus repeats, emphasizing Dinah's need for affirmation and reassurance from her partner. The bridge once again acknowledges that her partner has said the words before, but Dinah needs to hear them again to fully believe in their love. She is willing to say the words back to her partner once she does.

Overall, "Say It Again" is an honest and vulnerable expression of the doubts and insecurities that can plague even the most loving relationships.
