Do It Again
Robyn Röyksopp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Always be around

Don't you know I can see what you do to me
Running around with your cheap talk, cheap talk
What I need is a man who can do me right, do me right

If you got what I need, I can guarantee
To return all the love that you've giving to me
But, I've got to be sure that you always will be around (Always be around)

Do you know what it takes to love me
Do you know what it takes to do me right
Do you know what it takes to love me, baby, baby

Heaven knows in my time, I've been lonely
Feeling my love echo in my mind, in my mind, yeah
Never satisfied girl is what they call me
But I just can't keep going on living lies

Guaranteed, underneath
You won't let me down
There's so much I can give
But it's buried so deep
I just got to be sure that you always will be around (Always be around)

Do you know what it takes to love me (Do you know)
Do you know what it takes to do me right
Do you know what it takes to love me, baby, baby
Do you know what it takes (Do you know)
Do you know what it takes
(Don't waste my time, with your lies)
Yeah baby, I got enough
(You got to prove that you will always be around)

I'll give you everything
Boy will you do the same for me
Will you do anything
I gotta know the way it'll be

Do you know what it takes to love me (Do you know)
Do you know what it takes to do me right
Do you know, do you know, do you know what it takes




Do you know what it takes, do you know what it takes to do me right
(Don't waste my time baby)

Overall Meaning

"Do It Again" by Robyn Röyksopp is a song about the desire for a committed, meaningful relationship. The singer expresses her frustration with the men she has encountered who only offer cheap talk and short-term affection. She yearns for a man who will love her properly and will always be there for her. She questions the men's abilities to love her fully and do things right, begging the question: Do you know what it takes to love me? The singer is honest about her reputation of never being satisfied with love, but she is determined to find someone who can give as much as she can.


The chorus emphasizes the importance of a partner who will always be around for her. The singer repeats this line several times to stress it out: "But, I've got to be sure that you always will be around". It’s essential for this person to prove their love and commitment to her; she needs to be sure that she won't be left hurt and lonely once again. The song's message is clear: the singer desires a real, genuine, and long-lasting love; that person who can prove their love for her by always being around and being there for her, no matter what happens.

One more time
Let's do it again
Blow my mind
Do it again
And then it arrives, the moment before
The anticipation, you know it's like Mmm-mmm-mmm
Wait for it, wait for the build up
And then let's do it again

We do what we want, and as soon as it's done
We just do it again
Let's do it all, and when we come down
We just do it again
Don't care what they say, it hurts so good
I don't wanna stop, I know I should
But let's do it again

One more time,
Let's do it again
The thing you did,
Do it again
And when it arrives, the moment before
The anticipation, you know it's like Mmm-Mmm-mmm
Wait for it, wait for the build up
And then let's do it again

We do what we want, and as soon as it's done
We just do it again
Let's do it all, and when we come down
We just do it again
Don't care what they say, it hurts so good
I don't wanna stop, I know I should

We should not be friends
We'll just do it again
If you stay around,
We'll just do it again

We should not be friends
We'll just do it again
If you stay around,
We'll just do it again

Let's do it again
Don't care what they say, it hurts so good
It hurts so good
I don't wanna stop, I know I should
But let's do it again, again again again again
Again again again again!!!!



@vorpal22

+maly3900 How long have you been using? As someone who was addicted for seven years (got loads prescribed to me for a serious Crohn's Disease flareup), it starts off great, and ends up being quite stressful and anxiety producing, IMO. I would never go back to daily use.

LOL morphine for me was... meh.

Oxycodone / Oxycontin was the best prescription opiate I ever took, but also the most addictive. Seriously, my brain would just scream, "Oxy! Oxy! Oxy!" all. day. long. Tolerance built way too fast, though, and I went from 40 mg / time with a nice high to 120 mg / time with little effects within a few months of daily use.

Got switched up to massive doses of hydromorphone / Dilaudid (100 mg / day) for my Crohn's, and found it stronger in terms of pain relief and "nodding", but less euphoric and less addictive than oxycodone by far.

I've been off methadone for almost two years now, and mostly opioid-clean, except for the occasional Tramadol binge (which does very little for me - I seem to be mostly unaffected by it), and more recently, a fucking AWESOME week long bingefest of U-47700, which is probably the best opioid that I have ever taken by far.

(I am not the type of person that thinks "once an addict, always an addict", so I don't view these as slips or setbacks. I have been addicted to a few things, but after getting over the addiction and taking a few years off, have always been able to come back to them with a clear head and use them in moderation without getting readdicted.)

Oh! One more thing: I HIGHLY suggest, if you want to keep your tolerance low and help stop / slow down addiction, that you consider taking low doses of DXM (say, 60 mg) an hour or so before your opiates. (DXM aka dextromethorphan is the active ingredient in most cough medications, and is a powerful dissociative anaesthetic like ketamine at higher doses.) Also, if you DO find yourself addicted, DXM is an awesome helper to control withdrawals and break the addiction, as it works rather like ibogaine in the brain. I cold-turkey quit 20 mg of methadone a day, which most methadone maintenance therapy patients say would make them wish for death, and had virtually no withdrawal except for a bit of cold sweats and a little unhappiness. That was almost certainly because I was taking around 500 - 600 mg of DXM / day (a decently strong and very psychoactive dose).

Sorry for the rambles... just thought I'd share my experiences :-).
