Here I Go Again
Glenn Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch it now 'cos
here I go again.
I've been hurt so much before.
I told myself,
yes I did,
no more, no more won't get hurt any more.
There I was by myself
doin' all right
until I saw you last night.
And then I knew that
here I go again.
I cannot help it.
Here I go again.
Making the same mistakes,
heading for more heartaches.
What can I do when there's nothing I can do?
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was blue.
What 's the use?
I'll just give in.
Try as I may,
and I do,
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win.
Now, you're here, so close to me.
I can't resist you,
and I knew when I kissed you.
I'm gonna sing now
here I go again.
Watch it now 'cos
here I go again.
Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love.
Glenn Jones's song "Here I Go Again" is a heartbreaking ballad about falling in love again and making the same mistakes. The song revolves around the singer's inability to resist the temptation of falling in love again, even though he has been hurt before. The opening lines of the song, "Here I go again. Watch it now 'cause here I go again," set the mood of the song as the singer is about to dive into something he knows might hurt him.
Jones's poignant lyrics describe a scenario where the singer is trying to convince himself that he won't get hurt again. He says that he has been hurt so much before that he promised himself never to get hurt again. However, as he saw his love interest, he knew that he would fall in love again and be hurt yet again. The line, "Making the same mistakes, heading for more heartaches," perfectly sums up his mood as he knows that he is repeating the same cycle.
In the end, he gives in and falls in love, singing, "Falling in love, in love. Falling in love, in love. Falling in love, in love. Falling in love." The song ends on a sad note as the singer acknowledges that he might never win in love, but he still falls back into it.
Overall, "Here I Go Again" is a beautifully written song that tugs at the heartstrings of listeners. It speaks of the universal experience of falling in love and the fear of getting hurt again.
