Do It Again
Staples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do it again, do it (do it)
Do it again (do it)
Do it again, do it (do it)
Let's do it again, do it (do it)
Mm (do it again, do it again)
I wanna do it again (come on)
Do it (do it)
Let's do it again (do it, do it)

Sometimes the rain
Groovin' when I hear the sound
Like you and me, baby
Gettin' down with the sounds around

Oh, the smell of the mornin' flower
As we pass away the hour
I want to do it again, do it again
Do it (do it)

Let's do it in the mornin'
Sweet breeze in the summertime
Feeling your sweet face
All laid up next to mine

Sweet love in the midnight
Good sleep come mornin' light
No worries 'bout nothin'
Just gettin' good, just gettin' good
Just gettin' good love, lovin'

Do it, do it again
Do it again (do it)
Do it

Now I like you, lady
So fine with your pretty hair
If you don't mind my compliments
Just diggin' on the clothes you wear

I'm just a man now, don't you fear
I can love you now I brought you here
I wanna do it again
(Do it) do it, do it
I wanna do it again (yeah)

Do it
Oh, oh yeah
Do it again, woo
Oh yeah
Do it again
Do it, woo

Like a hammer on the block
Love began to rock
Give the sister love and pride
Feel good and satisfied

I'm not a girl that could linger
But I feel like a butterfinger
I want to do it again, do it again
Do it, do it

Let's do it in the mornin'
Sweet breeze in the summertime
Feeling your sweet face
All laid up next to mine

Sweet love in the midnight
Good sleep come mornin' light
No worries 'bout nothin'
Just gettin' good, just gettin' good
Just gettin' good love, lovin'

Oh hey, do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again, do it again
Do it, do it again, do it again, do it again
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it (woohoo)
Do it, do it, do it, do it again
Do it again, do it again, do it again (woohoo)
Do it again, do it again (woohoo)
Mmm (woohoo)

Oh, hey
Do it again, do it again, do it again (woohoo)
Do it again, do it again, do it again (woohoo)
Do it again, do it, do it, do it (woohoo)
Oh, do it again, do it again, do it again (woohoo)
Do it again, mm-mm
I've got to do it again, oh (woohoo)




Uh (woohoo)
(Woohoo)

This is REAL R&B. Subtle yet straight to the point with a killer bassline. I hope this style makes a comeback.

@jadajadamoats5567

The best kind

My God I would love it if we had a real R&B revival
