Say It Again
H.E.R Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show tonight
I hit all the notes that I know you like
You know I'm a pro when I'm on the mic
We're already here so turn off the lights, yeah

You had a lot to say
No more talking
You can use that mouth in other ways
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Now

And I won't say it again
Boy you know I don't get naughty for anybody
I won't say it again
Even though this ain't the first time
I'll tell you one time
I ain't gon' say it again

Time to turn
What you been asking
Into actions
I won't say it again
I won't say it again

We go
Baby, give me all of that ego
You say it's food for thought
Let me feed you
This ain't even the half
It's the preview

I had a lot to say
I'm done talking
I'mma throw it back like yesterday
'Cause I want it
And I want it now

And I won't say it again
Boy you know I don't get naughty for anybody
I won't say it again
Even though this ain't the first time
I'll tell you one time
I ain't gon' say it again

Time to turn
What you been asking
Into actions
I won't say it again
I won't say it again





Boy you know I don't get naughty for anybody
Boy you know I don't get naughty for anybody

Overall Meaning

In H.E.R.'s song "Say It Again," the first verse talks about performing at a show and hitting all the notes that the subject of the song likes. The lyrics suggest that the singer is a pro on the mic, and the audience is already there, so they may as well turn off the lights and get down to business. The second verse reveals that the subject of the song had a lot to say but now has no more talking to do. Instead, the singer suggests that they use their mouth in other ways, insinuating that they want to be intimate with this person. They want it now and won't say it again, indicating that they have made their intentions clear but will not keep repeating themselves.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I won't say it again" to emphasize that the singer has made their desire known and will not keep insisting on it. The singer acknowledges that they don't get naughty for anybody, but they want this person so badly that they are willing to break their own rules. The final verse suggests that it's time to stop asking and start taking action. The singer wants this person to know that they won't say it again and that if they want to make a move, now is the time.


Overall, "Say It Again" is a sultry and seductive R&B song that conveys the singer's desires and intentions in a straightforward yet emotionally charged way. The lyrics suggest that the singer is confident and comfortable with their own sexuality but still wants the subject of the song to take action and make a move.
