Here We Go Again Lyrics
[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
Scattered thoughts, scattered brains
What you know about it, baby? What you know about it, baby?
Scattered thoughts, scattered brains
What you know about it, baby? What you know about it, baby?
I been runnin' 'round in circles
And I keep comin' back to no one to find (Yeah)
And I've been dealin' with these women
So confused, all these feelings, so I leave them behind
I've been tryna find different
But really what's the difference when they seem too alike? (Oh-woah)
Then she end up in my bed, somethin' that I said
Then she thought she was mine (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown & Rihanna]
Are you still down, baby? Are you still down, baby?
Are you really 'bout that life? Are you really 'bout that life?
Are you still down, baby? Are you still down, baby?
Is you down for the ride? Is you down for the ride?
[Chorus: Chris Brown & Rihanna, Chris Brown]
Here we go again, here we go again
Why can't you let it go? (Ooh)
'Cause I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight
Here we go again, here we go again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Who could love you better?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I could love you better
Scattered thoughts, scattered brains
What you know about it, baby? What you know about it, baby?
Scattered thoughts, scattered brains
What you know about it, baby? What you know about it, baby?
I been runnin' 'round in circles
And I keep comin' back to no one to find (Yeah)
And I've been dealin' with these women
So confused, all these feelings, so I leave them behind
I've been tryna find different
But really what's the difference when they seem too alike? (Oh-woah)
Then she end up in my bed, somethin' that I said
Then she thought she was mine (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown & Rihanna]
Are you still down, baby? Are you still down, baby?
Are you really 'bout that life? Are you really 'bout that life?
Are you still down, baby? Are you still down, baby?
