All Over Again
The Mavericks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here you are, back again
As beautiful as you have ever been
I try not to look 'cause I know it tears me apart
Just when I was over you
And everything that you put me through
Seems you never get tired of breaking my heart

Why don't you give me up and let me go?
You know I'm weak and I can't tell you "no"
Why do you want to hurt me all over again?
Now you're standing there at my front door
Like you've done so many times before
Why do you want to hurt me all over again?

Do I let you in or send you away
I still love you but I'm so afraid
I'm just a man who will make another mistake
And just when I was over you
And everything that you put me through
Seems you never get tired of breaking my heart

Why don't you give me up and let me go?
You know I'm weak and I can't tell you no
Why do you want to hurt me all over again?
Now you're standing there at my front door
Like you've done so many times before
Why do you want to hurt me all over again?

Why don't you give me up and let me go?
You know I'm weak and I can't tell you no
Why do you want to hurt me all over again?
Now you're standing there at my front door
Like you've done so many times before
Why do you want to hurt me all over again?

All over again
All over again




All over again
All over again

Here you are, back again
You have returned once more


As beautiful as you have ever been
You are still as attractive as ever


I try not to look 'cause I know it tears me apart
I avoid gazing at you because it pains me


Just when I was over you
When I had finally moved on from you


And everything that you put me through
And all the torment you inflicted upon me


Seems you never get tired of breaking my heart
It appears that you enjoy repeatedly hurting me emotionally


Why don't you give me up and let me go
Why don't you release me and allow me to move on


You know I'm weak and I can't tell you "no"
You are aware that I am vulnerable and cannot refuse you


Why do you want to hurt me all over again
Why do you desire to cause me pain once more


Now you're standing there at my front door
Currently, you are waiting at my entryway


Like you've done so many times before
Just as you have done numerous times in the past


Do I let you in or send you away
Should I allow you to enter or turn you away


I still love you but I'm so afraid
Although I still have affection for you, I am apprehensive


I'm just a man who will make another mistake
I am human and prone to making additional errors


All over again
Once more


All over again
Once more


All over again
Once more


All over again
Once more

Yup, this is the song that came on outlaw country channel on sirius tonight, mind blowing crazy timing for how fitting the lyrics meet the circumstances that befell upon me 5 minutes prior to hearing it, funny how life goes some days. Thanks for the upload so I can re-analyze!
