Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
(Yeah) I can't shake it, no
I can't wait to see you
want to see if you still got that
Look in your eye
That one you had for me
Before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we
Gotta spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same thing
Over and over again
Oh, but I think she's leavin'
Aw, man, she's leavin'
And I don't know what else to do
(Can't go on not lovin' you)
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
(yeah) and I can't take it
(yeah) I can't shake it, no
I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath
You took right in front of me
When you said that you would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you
Or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps
Playin' in my head
Over and over again
It play in my head
Over and over again
Oh, I think she's leavin'
Aw, man, she's leavin'
And I don't know what else to do
(I Can't go on not lovin' you)
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no
Now that I realize
That I'm going down
From all this pain you
Put me through
Every time I close my eyes (woo)
I lock it down
Oh, I can't go on not lovin' you
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, over and over again
Over and over again
'Cause it's all in my head
The Nelly (feat. Tim McGraw) song "Over And Over" is all about clinging to the past and the memories of a former lover. The lyrics talk about how the singer keeps picturing their past partner with someone else, and how they can't seem to shake the pain of the breakup. They long to see their ex again, hoping to rekindle the flame they once shared. However, the uncertainty and the regret of their past actions prevent them from moving on. The singer acknowledges how their thoughts and emotions are just a repetition of the same thing, and that they cannot escape from their own mind.
The chorus repeats the words "over and over again" in order to emphasize the idea of being stuck in a loop of memories, regrets, and pain. The use of repetition is also seen in the verses, as the singer talks about replaying the same thoughts and images in their head without being able to let go. The combination of Nelly's rap verses and Tim McGraw's country-influenced singing adds an interesting contrast to the song, as it reflects the duality of emotions the singer is experiencing.
Overall, "Over And Over" is a powerful song that explores the struggle of moving on after a failed relationship. It shows how our own thoughts and memories can trap us in a cycle of anguish and longing, and how difficult it can be to break free from that cycle.
