Tuxedo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Second time around
Second time around (ho)
Second time around
Second time around (ay)
Second time around
Second time around (ho)
Second time around (hey)
Second time around
Second time around (ho)
Second time around
Second time around (ay)
Second time around
Second time around (ho)
Second time around
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around (the second time around)
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out, oh
I felt a super sensation
From the second I laid eyes on you
Never gave into temptation
'Cause I didn't want to lose my cool
Then the sparks they flew
Nothing we could do
But the aftershock was much too strong
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around (the second time around)
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around (the second time around)
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out
I had my standard rotation
I was satisfied to get back to
Forget about our relation
Keep it pushin' down the avenue
Then a late night call mixed with alcohol
Reconnected right where we left off
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around (the second time around)
I think it's gonna be better
We can work it out
We can work it out
I think it's gonna be better
The second time around (the second time around)
I think it's gonna be better

The lyrics to Tuxedo's "2nd Time Around" is the story of two lovers who have parted ways, but after some time they reunite and give their romance a second chance. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Second time around," which confirms the theme of the song. The singer is optimistic about his chances of having a love that will last, despite what happened in the past.
In the second verse, the singer details his previous experience with his lover. He felt a "super sensation" from the first time he saw her, but he didn't give in to temptation because he didn't want to lose his cool. After some time, they realized the sparks between them were too strong to ignore. However, they didn't work out the first time they tried their hand at love. In the bridge, the singer reveals he had moved on and was satisfied with his life before he received a late-night call from his ex-partner.
The song is optimistic and upbeat regarding new beginnings in relationships. The message is that no matter how a relationship ends the first time, it can always be rekindled to a better outcome.

@carouselcakes6237
I love this band. You can’t beat that 80s soul & funk sound and these guys do it well.
@tomtalker2000
This 80's vibe is JUST what we need back in the music scene. I just love this kind of music and it just goes to show it NEVER dies folks. It ALWAYS comes back full circle. Keep up the great work.
