Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't ever start it if you can't stop,
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop.
If you are looking for some adventure,
Don't you forget what you have to do,
Just take a step in the right direction,
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop,
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop.
When you are playing around with fire,
Dangerous passion is what you feel,
Don't waste your time in the wrong direction,
Honesty gets you a better deal.
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love,
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Hold him, hold him, hold him fast,
Never mind if it doesn't last!
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop,
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop.
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love,
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Hold him, hold him, hold him fast,
Never mind if it doesn't last!
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop,
Aaaah!
Don't ever start it if you can't stop.
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love,
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Hold him, hold him, hold him fast,
Never mind if it doesn't last!
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love,
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Hold him, hold him, hold him fast,
Never mind if it doesn't last!
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love,
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.
Hold him, hold him, hold him fast,
Never mind if it doesn't last!
Do it, do it again!
Do it, do it again with love.

The lyrics to The Juju Orchestra's "Do It Again" are centered on the idea of living in the moment and taking risks. The opening lines caution the listener not to begin something they can't finish, implying that the song's subject matter is likely to be intense and require commitment. The chorus repeats a call to action, urging the listener to "do it again" with love. This can be interpreted in a few different ways - either the subject has already taken this risk and wants to repeat the experience or they are being encouraged to keep trying until they eventually succeed. The verses go on to elaborate on this idea, describing the allure of danger and the need for honesty when pursuing a passionate endeavor.
The lines "When you are playing around with fire, Dangerous passion is what you feel" suggest the subject is willing to take risks and embrace the uncertainty that often accompanies life's greatest rewards. It is evident that the singer is urging the subject to take a leap of faith and put their heart on the line. The bridge incorporates a slightly different twist, encouraging the subject to dive in regardless of the eventual outcome. The line "Never mind if it doesn't last!" implies that the subject should be willing to let go of their fear of failure and jump in with both feet. Ultimately, the song seems to be centered on the idea that to truly experience life, we must be willing to take chances and risk our hearts.
