Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That smile, and those eyes
It's all a game
And I won't be playing it
Never again yea yea yea
But here we go
I'm losing control
Here in the dark
You stole my heart
Baby here we go again
Oh here we go
Oh here we go
Don't wanna get so much to lose it all
But you got me where you want me
Get so much to lose it all
But you got me where you want me
I know your type
That smile, and those eyes
It's all a game
And I won?t be playing it
Never again yea yea yea
But here we go
I'm losing control
Throwing caution to the wind
Here in the dark
You stole my heart
Baby here we go again
Oh here we go
Oh here we go
You got me
Don't wanna get so much to lose it all
But you got me where you want me
Get so much to lose it all
But you got me where you want me
Got me
Oh oh baby here we go oh
Pedal to the floor, oh baby here we go
Searching high ay, I've been searching low ow
'Til you came along ong
Baby here we go go
(Baby baby baby baby)
Here we go oh, baby here we go oh
Pedal to the floor, oh baby here we go
Searching high ay, I've been searching low ow
'Til you came along ong
Baby here we go
Here we go
Oh here we go
Oh baby here we
Oh baby here we go
Oh baby here we go
In "Here We Go," Keyshia Cole expresses her apprehension about falling for the same type of guy who has played her before. She knows his type, with his charming smile and captivating eyes that are all players in a game, but despite this knowledge, she feels herself losing control and throwing caution to the wind, making the same mistakes all over again. With lines like "But here we go, I'm losing control, throwing caution to the wind," Cole acknowledges her inability to resist this man's power over her, even though she knows he's just playing a game. She also acknowledges the potential consequences, singing, "Don't wanna get so much to lose it all, but you got me where you want me." The song is a classic representation of the cycle of falling for someone you know is not good for you and feeling powerless to stop it.
