Again
John Legend Lyrics
First time we ever got a chance to be alone we knew
It was wrong to do
I guess that's why I was drawn to you
Second time leads to the third, the fifth, the seventh time
I feel so alive, it won't last but it's alright
Fleeting joy and faded ecstasy
Here goes again, sneaking fruit from the forbidden tree
Sweet taste of sin
Yes, I'm doing it again
Oh, I'm doing it again
I said it would end
But here it goes again
This time you told me you saw me at the same motel
You said you knew me well, and I had that familiar smell
Asked me, How am I ever going to learn to put my trust in you,
'Cause I know what you're prone to do?"
Accusations fly like bullets do
Here it goes again
Oh, you know me because you're doing it too
Cycle never ends, it never ends
Oh, you're doing it again
Yes, you're doing it again
Are you doing it again?
You said it would end, but here it goes again and again and again
Damn, I love you, but this is crazy
I have to fight you, almost daily
We break up so fast and we, we make up so passionately
Why can't we just trust each other?
You can't hate me and be my lover
Passion ends, the pain begins
I come back, and we're doing it again
Yes, we're doing it again
Oh, we're doing it again
We said it would end
But here it goes again
Each time you call me home in a sweet refrain
Saying things'll change, you'll take away the pain
Then we flash back to the first time you put your spell on me
You envelop me, you feel good as hell to me
One moment leads to another few
Here it goes again
Leaving you is oh so hard to do
I just can't pretend, can't pretend
I keep doing it again
Oh, I'm doing it again
Yes, I'm doing it again
I said it would end
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, I'm doing it again
I said it would end
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, I'm doing it again
I said it would end
But here it goes again

Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw fervor of contemporaries Cody ChesnuTT and the burning precision of D'Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of five. Legend left Ohio at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He also became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West. It wasn't until West signed the young talent to his new label that he adopted the Legend name with 2004's Solo Sessions Vol. 1: Live at the Knitting Factory. Get Lifted, his first studio album, was released later in the year. On the strength of enduring single "Ordinary People," the album reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200. This led to three Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. Once Again, which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, followed in October 2006. Live from Philadelphia, sold exclusively at Target stores, was a successful stopgap release that predated October 2008's Evolver.

This is one of those real songs. A poetic example of when the heart and mind are at war. You know what you know, but you feel what you feel.
