Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't waste our time, tell me now
All you have to do is speak out my name
And I will come running anyway
And I say, could it be me?
Could it really, really be? Over and over
Could it really, really be? Over and over
Don't turn me away and don't let me down
What can I do to keep you around?
All you have to do is speak out my name
And I will come running anyway
And I say, could it be me?
Could it really, really be? Over and over
Could it really, really be? Over and over
Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over
The lyrics to Primal Scream Feat. Linda Thom's song "Over And Over" speak to the fear of losing someone important and the desire to ensure that person stays with you. The singer questions if it could be them, over and over again, that the person would choose to stay with. They plead with the person not to turn them away or let them down, asking what they can do to keep them around. The lyrics suggest that all the person has to do is say the singer's name and they will come running, highlighting the deep desire to keep the relationship intact.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics "over and over" creates a sense of urgency and desperation, emphasizing the emotional weight behind the message. The plea for the person not to waste their time and to speak up if they were to ever leave also shows a vulnerability and fear of abandonment.
Overall, "Over and Over" is a song that speaks to the human desire for love and connection, as well as the fear of losing it.

Agreed.
These idiots on here slag Dylan's mediocrity and his status as a 'mere' poet, but then have ZERO means of accounting for the way his MUSIC somehow mysteriously drew in the likes of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper
And the Hawks?
And Bob Neuwirth? T Bone Burnett? Mason Ruffner? Daniel Lanois?
Gee - you think maybe those no talent hacks might've spotted something in Bob that these bystanders here on YT might've missed?
Nah - COULDN'T be.

Nothing like a new Dylan album to make John proud.

Blown away that people are so profoundly misreading two stoned sarcastic pranksters’ banter.

Dylan is tripping balls and Lenennon knows it. Lennon himself had many documented episodes of acting the fool when not strait.

Yes he did. Offended people saying they were more famous than Jesus
@crowkid5553
@allmytinywondersnursery180 he wasn't wrong
@StacheBigote
According to Lennon they were both “on junk” here.
@francesjohnson3045
I believe he got quite addicted to heroin , not to smart if you ask me
@Yodelinthegully.-
He said more popular than Jesus which is technically true. Who gives a shit about a fictional character like Jesus? Brainless hypocrites who believe in Jesus don’t act like him in anyway.

John keeps his cool. Obviously Dylan is intoxicated and John humors him knowing that is the intelligent thing to do. You can't win an argument with a drunk.
