Sorry but this is the end
I said "Don't trip it was just a harmless sleepover"
See, we're just was making friends
She said "then what were you doing there in 4 in the morning?"
You told me you were at home
I started with "darling please listen"
And then I picked up my phone, yeah
I told my story in RE'cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs & long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
Probably do it again!
Could I get a DO-OVER?!
Babyy, ooh oh
Hey, ooh oh
I plugged my phone in as I backed out the driveway,
Then I started my car
Slipped out the door after I crept through her hallway
She left it slightly ajar, yeah
Threw on my kicks my socks my jeans and my t-shirt
Then threw my HAT on my head
I did it quiet so that I wouldn't wake her
Woke up in another girl's bed, yooo
I tell my story in RE'cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs & long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
I would do it again!
If I could do it again
Probably do it again!
Could I get a DO-OVER?
Babyy, ooh oh
Hey, ooh oh
I told my story in RE'cause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs & long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
Probably do it again
Could I get a DO-OVER? OVER!
Yeaa, oooh
I told my story in REcause it hurts
Girl it hurts too much to bare
But I'm tantalized by their legs and long hair
But if I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
I would do it again
If I could do it again
Probably do it again
Could I get a do over?
The song "Reverse" by SomeKindaWonderful is about a dysfunctional relationship in which the singer cheats and then tries to cover up his actions. He comes clean, but his partner is understandably hurt and angry. The chorus of the song is the singer's reflection on the situation and his desire to go back in time and make things right. He is "tantalized" by other women but ultimately feels regret for his actions.
The opening lines of the song indicate that the relationship is coming to an end because the singer has been caught cheating. He tries to brush it off as "just a harmless sleepover," but his partner is not convinced. The ensuing argument leads to the singer telling his story in the key of "RE" (a reference to musical notation), which emphasizes the pain he feels.
The rest of the song deals with the singer's longing for a second chance. He wishes he could "do it again" and somehow make things right. However, he also acknowledges that he might make the same mistakes again in the future. The song ends with the frustrated plea for a "do-over."

Most under rated song to exist. I've been listening to it since coming across it in 2014. The official video sounds slightly different than what I remember. Its a songs I use to listen to a million times in a row. It actually got me though some some real shit I was going through.
@djeami06
Same here :) Bless you
@tonyortiz940
Definitely one of the best songs it's so raw the lead singer voice blows me away he put his soul in this tune. WOW
@SilviaSuvadovaSlovak
I totally agree :) I never understood why it was not a huge hit. Still listening to it so often after all these years. The only song I know that never gets old.
