Let's Do It Again
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'Cause your kisses are sweet
An' I don't want the feelin' to end!
We glide on a magic carpet ride
All around us stars collide
And there's poetry inside my head
It seems I can hear some haunting theme
Yet there's something in your scheme
That's too real to be a dream instead!
Hey!... let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'Cause your kisses are sweet
An' I don't want the feelin' to end!
The sound all around begins to pound
An' I know we're homeward bound
To a world we've often found before
We climb into space an' out of time
Then the bells begin to chime
We're in rhythm and in rhyme, once more!
Hey!... let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'Cause your kisses are sweet
An' I don't want the feelin' to end!
Hey!... let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then... we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop...
