One More Day
Lulu and the Black Sheep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here you are again
Tellin' me you're sorry, baby
Tellin' me you wanna come on back home
Where you belong

There you go again
Lyin' and alibiin'
Singin' that same old worn out song
Here it comes now

I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day

I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You walked out on me
Once too often baby
And I can't take no more of your jive
And that's the truth

I ain't about to let you
Run me into the ground
I'm not gonna throw away my youth
No not hardly

I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day

I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You gotta speak out louder
You gotta speak out louder
'Cause I can't hear you no more




I can't hear you no more
Just a little bit louder

Line by Line Meaning

Here you are again
You've returned once more


Tellin' me you're sorry, baby
Apologizing for your actions


Tellin' me you wanna come on back home
Expressing the desire to return home


Where you belong
Stating that home is where you should be


There you go again
Repeating the same behavior


Lyin' and alibiin'
Being dishonest and making excuses


Singin' that same old worn out song
Continuing with meaningless words


Here it comes now
Expecting a response


I can't hear you no more
I have heard enough and can no longer listen


I've heard it all before
Your words are familiar and have lost meaning


You ain't a reachin' me no how
Your attempts to communicate are futile


No way, no time until dooms day
There is no chance of changing my mind


You walked out on me
You left me behind


Once too often baby
Your leaving has become a habit


And I can't take no more of your jive
I am tired of your false promises


And that's the truth
This is my honest opinion


I ain't about to let you
I refuse to allow you


Run me into the ground
Take advantage of me or wear me out


I'm not gonna throw away my youth
I will not waste my time with you


No not hardly
Definitely not


You ain't a reachin' me no how
Your attempts to communicate are futile


No way, no time until dooms day
There is no chance of changing my mind


You gotta speak out louder
You need to make yourself more clear


Just a little bit louder
Slightly more clearly


'Cause I can't hear you no more
Because I am not listening anymore


I can't hear you no more
I have heard enough and can no longer listen
