Here comes the Rain again
The Countdown Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just when I've begun to get myself together,
you waltz right in the door,
just like you've done before
and wrap my heart 'round your little finger.
Here you come again,
just when I'm about to make it work without you,
and pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
and there go all my defenses.
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
is here you come again and here I go.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
and there got all my defenses.
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
is here you come again and here I go and here I go
These lyrics convey the emotions and thoughts of someone who has been caught off guard by the return of an old lover. The first verse highlights the surprise and disruption caused by the unexpected reappearance of this person. The singer had just started to find stability and move forward in their life without this lover, but their sudden return throws everything off balance. The metaphor of the lover wrapping the singer's heart around their little finger implies that they have a strong emotional hold on them and can manipulate them easily.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that they were starting to believe they could function without the lover. However, the lover's words and false promises have the power to confuse and make the singer doubt themselves. The irresistible smile of the lover breaks down the singer's defenses, making them vulnerable to emotional manipulation once again. The mention of their mind being messed up and senses being filled up suggests that the lover has a powerful influence on the singer's thoughts and feelings.
The repetition of the phrase "here you come again" emphasizes the cyclical nature of this relationship. Each time the lover returns, they seem to have a greater impact on the singer. The singer admits that the lover looks better than they have a right to, implying that their attractiveness adds to the temptation of reuniting. This person consistently shakes up the singer's world, making it difficult for them to resist their charm and causing them to lose sight of their own desires and goals.
Overall, these lyrics capture the conflicted emotions of someone who is constantly drawn back into a complex and turbulent relationship. The singer acknowledges their vulnerability and the power that the lover holds over them, ultimately resigning themselves to the repeated cycle of being caught up in this person's presence.

Here you come again
You have returned once more
just when I've begun to get myself together
just when I have started to regain my composure
you waltz right in the door
you enter confidently and effortlessly
just like you've done before
in the same manner as you have previously
and wrap my heart 'round your little finger
and easily gain control over my emotions
just when I'm about to make it work without you
just when I am on the verge of being independent from you
you look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies
you deceive me with your charming falsehoods
and pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you
and before long, I start questioning why I ever had doubts about you
All you gotta do is smile that smile
All you have to do is wear that captivating smile
and there go all my defenses
and all my defenses crumble
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
I leave myself vulnerable to you and soon after
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
you start confusing my thoughts and overwhelming my senses
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to
Once again, you arrive looking exceptionally attractive
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
and causing me to feel unsettled, to the point where
is here you come again and here I go
all I can think about is your presence, and I find myself getting caught up in it
and here I go
and I am once again entranced by you
