I've Got To See You You Again
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
Late in the night when I'm all alone
And I look at the clock and I know you're not home
I can't help myself
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
But no I won't go for any of those things
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
No, I won't go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where you've been
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
Oh I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
The lyrics of this song by Norah Jones describe a strong, almost irresistible attraction towards someone. The first verse talks about lines on the person's face, but how they don't bother Jones. She is sitting down and the person is dancing over her, and she can't help but want to see them again. The second verse talks about how Jones feels alone at night, and although she knows the person isn't home, she still wants to see them. She could almost go just to watch them be seen or to live in a dream, but she won't settle for that. She sings that not touching the person's skin is not why she sings, meaning that the attraction is deeper than just physical desire.
The third verse emphasizes this deeper connection, as Jones sings that she won't go to share the person with others. She knows where the person has been, implying that they may have been with other people, but she still can't help but want to see them again. The repetition of "I can't help myself" throughout the song reinforces this sense of powerless attraction. It's as if Jones is trying to convince herself that she shouldn't want to see this person, but her feelings are so strong that she can't resist.
Overall, the lyrics of "I've Got To See You Again" evoke a sense of longing and almost desperation. Jones portrays a person who is undeniably drawn to someone, even though they may not be the best choice for her. The repetition of the chorus and the simple, understated melody add to the emotional weight of the song.

Harika melankolik bir norah jones parçası...
yüzündeki çizgiler umrumda değil
sandalyemde otururken, ve sen dans ederken
elimde değil,seni tekrar görmeliyim.
gecenin geç bir saati, yalnızken
saate bakıyorum ve biliyorum ki evde değilsin
elimde değil,
seni tekrar görmeliyim.
oraya gidebilirim bile,
sırf seni izlemek, görmek için
oraya gidebilirim bile,
sırf bir rüyayı yaşamak için.
ama hayır bunların hiçbirini yapmayacağım,
bu şarkıyı söylememin karşılığı tenine dokunmamak olmamalı
elimde değil,seni tekrar görmeliyim

It's 2016, and this timeless gem still sounds so fresh, it could easily be released today. Just perfect music.

I love this song. I think she is under rated, she deserves more views and fame

Didn’t she sweep the grammies in the early 2000s?

beautiful voice,
beautiful emotion of longing,
beautiful norah
