Back In Love Again
LTD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love
I get mixed emotions...it's the way my feelings flow
Excuse me I'm only human...sometimes I...I just don't know
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(do do do do do...back in love again...do do do do do)
Back in love
When you put your arms around me...I feel so satisfied
I want to love you forever...I just can't...I can't decide
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
Back in love...again

Now it's your lover...I know it's hard just to be a friend
That's something else I discovered...I guess I just don't ever want it to end
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again...seems like, seems like)
That I'm back in love...again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
I'm back in love again

I just don't believe it...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I can't believe it
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...I'm back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...oh my love Jones coming down
Back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Alright...alright...alright
(I'm back, I'm back) Help me, help me, help me...back in love




(I'm back, I'm back) Oh yeah...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...yes I do

Overall Meaning

The song "Back In Love Again" by LTD is a classic R&B track that explores the many emotions associated with love, loss, and uncertainty. At its core, the song is about a person who can't help but fall in love, even when it leads to heartache and confusion. The lyrics touch on the idea that sometimes we don't understand our own emotions and that being in love can feel like a never-ending cycle of ups and downs.


The first verse sets the stage for the rest of the song, with the lyrics "Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in, and every time I turn around...I'm back in love again." These lines convey a sense of helplessness and resignation, as if the singer knows that no matter what they do, they will keep falling in love again and again. The chorus reinforces this idea, with the repetition of the phrase "back in love again" serving as a reminder of the cyclical nature of love.


The second verse introduces the idea that being in love can be both satisfying and confusing, with the lyrics "When you put your arms around me...I feel so satisfied, I want to love you forever...I just can't...I can't decide." This line captures the tension between the desire for a long-lasting love and the uncertainty of being able to make that happen. The final verse adds a layer of complexity to the song, as the singer realizes that being in love with someone who is just a friend can be just as difficult as being in love with someone who will never love them back.


Overall, "Back In Love Again" is a thoughtful and introspective look at the many emotions associated with love. It captures the uncertainty, the joy, and the pain that come with falling in love, and it does so in a way that is both relatable and heartfelt.


Line by Line Meaning

Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
No matter what I do, something always goes wrong, and before I know it, I'm completely invested in something, unable to escape its pull.


And every time I turn around...I'm back in love
Just when I think I'm over a certain somebody or situation, I find myself caught in the grip of strong emotions all over again, powerless to resist them.


I get mixed emotions...it's the way my feelings flow
I go through highs and lows, love and hate, attraction and repulsion, as my heart struggles to make sense of complicated situations and relationships.


Excuse me I'm only human...sometimes I...I just don't know
I'm not perfect, I'm fallible, I'm vulnerable, and sometimes I don't have all the answers or the strength to do what's best for me. I just need some understanding and support.


When you put your arms around me...I feel so satisfied
The comfort and security of your embrace makes me feel safe and happy, like I've found a home and a sanctuary where I can let my guard down and be myself.


I want to love you forever...I just can't...I can't decide
I wish I could commit to you completely and irrevocably, but there's something holding me back, some doubt, some fear, some uncertainty that won't let me make the leap of faith.


Now it's your lover...I know it's hard just to be a friend
It's painful and tricky to see you with someone else, to know that you're not mine, and that we can't go back to the way we used to be. I want to be close to you, but I also don't want to hurt you or myself.


That's something else I discovered...I guess I just don't ever want it to end
I've realized that what we have is precious and rare, and I don't want to lose it or let it fade away. I cherish every moment we spend together and wish we could freeze time or have eternity to explore our feelings.


I just don't believe it...back in love again
It's hard to accept that I've fallen for this trap again and that I'm repeating the same mistakes or patterns. I thought I was smarter or stronger than this, but apparently, my heart has a mind of its own.


I get so many mixed emotions...yes I do
I experience a whirlwind of feelings and thoughts, joy and pain, hope and despair, as I try to make sense of my heart's desires and my head's doubts. It's a complicated mess that I'm still figuring out.

Feel sorry for the kids that weren't around in the 1970s to enjoy this type of music, am so proud to have been around in that time period. This is what they call Grown Folks music 🎢
