[Intro]

Here we go (uh)


[Verse 1]

Again and again, we keep on going through this

You say you wanna be friends but we always end up doin’ it

But when we're not in bed we're arguing every 20 minutes

I take it real personal when you start to bring money in it

Funny when it all falls down, it's a sex thing

No different from the next thing

I move on to the next link

Promises promises, but I ain't changing overnight

I think it's wise if we realize that it's over

Right or wrong, it doesn't matter anymore

We shouldn't harp on the bad times

No need to explain, it's too far gone

We keep on trying to work this out

But there's a fork in the road and I'm taking this route

Because (‘Cause)

You can't win a race runnin’ in place

But when I try to walk away I about-face

And come back to a situation that's a no-win


[Refrain]

Here we go again (here we go again)


[Chorus]

Here we go again

Here we go again (yea)

Here we go again (yea)

Here we go


[Verse 2]

You say it'll work out

But I disagree with you

I used to look forward to times I would be wit’ you

But things change like the weather, so do emotions

I need space to breathe, you got me closed in

I gotta get out, go play sis and do things

I gotta spread my wings like Troop sings

But it seems like we're living a lie

It gets no better, it's just like livin’ to die

But I ain't given a try no more, I've tried enough

Don't need to lie no more, I've cried enough

Here is a tissue, wipe your tears, I wish you well

You'll find the right man and I miss you

But I can't kiss you cuz’ you know what'll happen next

Hormones will be in effect, we'll start having sex

Pretending we're gettin’ back together

But we know it's over


[Chorus]

Here we go again (aha)

Here we go again

Here we go again (baby)

Here we go again (yea)

Here we go


[Instrumental]

Here we go


[Verse 3]

What's the course

Wha’ Wha’ what's the course

What's the course for the drama I'm asking you

No need to pull a fatal attraction move

Get a grip and evaluate the situation

When we're together it's a constant confrontation

Females come up and say hi how ya’ doin’

I'm a fan, I love your music and you think I'm screwing ‘em

I'm a man, but that don't mean that I jump in bed

With every girl, your friends are pumping your head

With all kinds of stories, sayin’ I'm sure he's messin’ around

They're jealous of you, maybe they want me

So you call with an attitude and third-degree

Lies have got your eyes too blurred to see

Another woman ain't the case, this about space

But every time I try to leave I about-face

And come back to a situation that's a no-win


[Refrain]

Here we go again (here we go again)


[Chorus]

Here we go again

Here we go again

Here we go again

Here we go


[Instrumental outro]
