One More Time
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run that by me one more time
To make sure that I heard you right
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb
And I know a lie when I hear one
Would you run that by me one more time?
Well, you're late again, I see
What's your excuse this time?
Don't you try to kiss and make up
When you smell so strong from wine
Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
You need to wind Big Ben
Honey, that's not wine you smell
That's aftershave for men
Would you run that by me one more time?
What happened to the money
I gave you to pay the rent?
The rent is overdue
And we ain't got one red cent
I put it in the cookie jar
The day you brought it home




One day when I came back from town
I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone!
Would you run that by me one more time?
Line by Line Meaning

Run that by me one more time
Please repeat what you just said


To make sure that I heard you right
To ensure I understood correctly


I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I hope you don't think I'll believe that untrue statement


I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb
I may seem foolish, but I'm not stupid


And I know a lie when I hear one
I can recognize a lie when it is spoken


Would you run that by me one more time?
Could you repeat it again?


Well, you're late again, I see
I notice that you're once again not punctual


What's your excuse this time?
What reason do you have now?


Don't you try to kiss and make up
Don't attempt to reconcile through affection


When you smell so strong from wine
Considering the strong smell of alcohol on you


Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
I deny being late, the clock must be incorrect


You need to wind Big Ben
You should wind the clock properly


Honey, that's not wine you smell
Dear, the scent you detect isn't wine


That's aftershave for men
It's actually men's aftershave


Would you run that by me one more time?
Could you please repeat that?


What happened to the money
What occurred with the money


I gave you to pay the rent?
That I provided for the rent?


The rent is overdue
The rent payment is past its due date


And we ain't got one red cent
We don't possess any money at all


I put it in the cookie jar
I placed it within the cookie jar


The day you brought it home
The exact day when you brought it here


One day when I came back from town
On a day when I returned from town


I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone!
I checked, and to my surprise, the money was gone!


Would you run that by me one more time?
Could you repeat that again?

My husband and I saw Nelson sing this in concert. We bought the CD. My husband died a month ago of a massive heart attack. He had no symptoms. He kissed me good morning, walked into the bathroom and collapsed. I played Just Once More at his funeral and listen to it everyday. I got the kiss but never got to say goodbye.

Shelley French

My mom made me promise 20 years ago to play this song at her funeral. She was president of one of Ricky Nelson’s and loved this song so much. My mom passed 11/3 and I kept my promise. Many tears shed. Beautiful song ❤️

I am so sorry. It was not my husband but my adult daughter and the not getting to say goodbye and one more I love you is the hardest. Prayers for you as you grieve your most hurtful loss.

I’ve always loved this song. Thought it was a beautiful tribute to their dad. Now that I lost my dad it brings so much more pain and beauty to my heart. I know their dad and my dad are both up in heaven.

This song really hit me hard. I lost my mother 2 years ago and then my grandmother who took us in after our mother's death died 5 months ago. I never got to tell them goodbye. I wish I could have one more day with both of them. Oh god!

Amelia Scott

Dani Lang praying for you

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. I chose to play this song as part of my Eulogy to my Mum at her funeral today, so we will always be connected to each other now through the one thing we both had in common - our love for music xoxo

Tom Fields
