Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, let 'em do it again, yeah
Hey, you said you were my friend
Hey, turn me upside down, oh
Hey, feelin' so down
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
You made a fool of me again
And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again, and again

[Verse 2]
Hey, I know I made the same mistake, yeah
I, I won't do it again, no
Why, why do you slap me in the face? Ow
I, I didn't say it was okay, no
No, no

[Chorus]
You violate a part of me again
And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again

[Bridge]
Ah, ooh
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot, yeah
Doot-doot

Hey, your weak will won't help her heal her heart
Hey, I'll bet it really eats you up, huh?

[Chorus]
Extending part of me again
And again, and again, and again, and again

[Outro]
Ooh
Doot-doot, yeah

Peaking at #8 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, “Again” was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1997.

Another of Staley’s heroin hymns, his lyrics are a painful example of his struggles with depression, addiction and loss, reflecting on the isolation of not knowing anyway out.
