Over And Over
Jessie Wagner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just sitting here wondering
How did I get Here
Had to go and fall in love again
Not a week has passed me
Since the last goodbye
And it seems I'm falling for this new guy
It's that get to know you feeling
Well he seems like a good one so I'll do my best
But his friend has got my heart beating fast
Chorus:
Love Trips me and I'm falling over and over
V2
I'm not a heart breaker
Well, I try not to be
Just can't keep my eyes from wandering
I want my pick of
flavors anything under the sky
Chocolate, cinnamon, or Vanilla chai
I try to hold steady
Love has other plans
Here comes another pretty pretty man
Chorus
Love trips me and I'm falling over and over
Bridge'
Don't judge me
Hear me out please
Give my
philosophy a try
I want to lease with an option to buy
V3
Just sitting here wondering
How did I get here
Maybe I'll keep this one for the year
Turn over a new leaf
Try to behave
He might be the one to change my ways
Chorus:
Love trips me and I'm
falling over and over
In Jessie Wagner's song "Over and Over," the singer expresses her confusion and frustration towards her tendency to fall in love easily. She wonders how she got herself into this situation once again, in love with a new guy just a week after breaking up with her previous partner. The uncertainty of getting to know someone new, the excitement of falling in love again, and the challenge of resisting temptation are all highlighted in the lyrics. She acknowledges her own weakness in staying loyal, as she mentions her tendency to have wandering eyes and enjoy the variety of different "flavors," but she hopes that this new guy will be the one to change her ways. The chorus "Love trips me and I'm falling over and over" emphasizes the cyclical nature of her romantic experiences and the inability to control the feeling of love.
The bridge "Don't judge me, hear me out please, give my philosophy a try, I want to lease with an option to buy" shows the singer's attitude towards the concept of love. She wants to explore different relationships, to have options, and to see if any of them eventually become long-term commitments. Her philosophy is one of exploration and experimentation, a willingness to try new things and see where they lead. She's open to the idea of love being a process, a journey, rather than a destination.
Overall, the song captures the complicated and often confusing nature of love, particularly in the early stages of getting to know someone. The singer's weaknesses and strengths are both on display, and the chorus effectively conveys the overpowering feeling of falling in love repeatedly.

I think that Jessie is an enormous talent! Her music features her powerful, wide-ranging vocals with diverse sounds (and a lot of horns!). She exudes so much energy and feeling in her music that it is impossible to escape its contagiousness whatever the mood of the song. It certainly doesn't hurt that she's so stunning and possesses such a killer smile! A true entertainer with a real gift...! Discovered her watching a Little Steven show and, despite the Disciples of Soul being such an awesome band, I kept getting drawn back to Jessie... Check her out there too! Best of Luck Jessie!!! In the (uncertain) event that all is right in this world, you should be a star!
