Here I Go Again
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh hmm, a scent like perfume from your lovely hair
I said that I do adore
Mmh, my heart said to me, don't walk head on into misery
Hey, with your eyes wide open can't you see?
A hurt's in store just like before
Here I go again never thinking of
The danger that might exist
Disregarding all of this just for you
I ignore the detour sign
I won't stop until you're mine (until you're mine)
I'm past the point of no return
Girl, you walk by and I said to me, myself and I
Now we've got to give it one more try
I know somehow the time is now, right now
Oh whoa, here I go again walking into love
Here I go again walking into love
Here I go, here I go
Here I go, here I go again

My heart said to me, don't walk head on into misery
Hey, with your eyes wide open can't you see?
A hurts in store just like before
Oh ho ho, but here I go again walking into love

rodney jerome
This is ,to me is, the definitive love ballad. The melody, strong lyrics, that all tie into the chorus, makes this the perfect love song, that takes us where we all have been, and will probably go again. Nothing is wasted, and it has always made me wish I had thought of this to write. This is the genius of song writing...
