It's Raining Again
Sarah Vaughan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You really shouldn't have done it
You hadn't any right
I really shouldn't have let you
Kiss me.
And although it was wrong
I never was strong.
So as long as you've begun it
And you know you shouldn't have done it.

Oh.
Do it again.
I may say no. no. no. no. no.
But do it again.
My lips just ache
To have you take the kiss
That's waiting for you
You know if you do
You won't regret it
Come and get it.

Oh.
No one is near
I may cry oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
But no one can hear.
Mamma may scold me
Coz' she told me
It was naughty but then

Please,
Do it again.
Yes do it again. And again and again and again and again and again
Turn out the light.
And hold me close
In your arms
All through the night.
I know tomorrow morning
You will say
Goodbye and Amen.





But until then
Please do it again

Overall Meaning

In Sarah Vaughan's song "Do It Again", the singer is torn between her desire and her conscience. She acknowledges that the kiss was wrong and that she was weak to allow it, but she cannot resist the temptation when it is presented to her. The song is a plea to the other person to do it again, even though both parties know it is not the right choice. The singer surmises that she may say no, but her lips ache for the kiss that is waiting for her. She is willing to risk Mama's scolding and any potential consequences because she simply cannot resist.


The singer is aware that this is an unhealthy cycle and that the person will leave tomorrow, but until then, she only wants to indulge in the moment. The song is a testament to the power of temptation and the weakness that one can feel. The singer allows herself to give in despite the moral implications and the potential future ramifications.


Overall, the song is a commentary on the human condition and our ability to make harmful decisions for the sake of pleasure. It captures a moment where the fight between desire and morality is at its peak.
