Do It Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing in the middle of nowhere
Wondering how to begin
Lost between tomorrow and yesterday
Between now and then
And now we're back where we started
Here we go 'round again
Day after day, I get up and I say
I better do it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are all the people going?
'Round and 'round till we reach the end
One day leading to another
Get up, go out, do it again
[Chorus]
Then it's back where you started
Here we go 'round again (Here we go 'round again)
Back where you started
Come on, do it again, do it again
[Verse 2]
And you think today is gonna be better
Change the world and do it again
Give it all up and start all over
You say you will but you don't know when
Standing in the middle of nowhere
Wondering how to begin
Lost between tomorrow and yesterday
Between now and then
And now we're back where we started
Here we go 'round again
Day after day, I get up and I say
I better do it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are all the people going?
'Round and 'round till we reach the end
One day leading to another
Get up, go out, do it again
[Chorus]
Then it's back where you started
Here we go 'round again (Here we go 'round again)
Back where you started
Come on, do it again, do it again
[Verse 2]
And you think today is gonna be better
Change the world and do it again
Give it all up and start all over
You say you will but you don't know when
[Chorus]
Then it's back where you started
Here we go 'round again
Day after day, I get up and I say
Come on, do it again, do it again (Do it again)
Do it again
[Verse 3]
The days go by and you wish you were a different guy
Different friends and a new set of clothes
You make alterations and affect a new pose
A new house, a new car, a new job, a new nose
But it's superficial and it's only skin deep
Because the voices in your head keep shouting in your sleep
Get back, get back
[Chorus]
Back where you started
Here we go 'round again
Back where you started
Come on do it again, do it again
Back where you started
Here we go 'round again
Everyday, I get up and I say
Do it again, do it again
(Do it again)
Then it's back where you started
Here we go 'round again
Day after day, I get up and I say
Come on, do it again, do it again (Do it again)
Do it again
[Verse 3]
The days go by and you wish you were a different guy
Different friends and a new set of clothes
You make alterations and affect a new pose
A new house, a new car, a new job, a new nose
But it's superficial and it's only skin deep
Because the voices in your head keep shouting in your sleep
Get back, get back
[Chorus]
Back where you started
Here we go 'round again
Back where you started
Come on do it again, do it again
Back where you started
Here we go 'round again
Everyday, I get up and I say
Do it again, do it again
(Do it again)
[Outro]
Day after day, I get up and I say
Come on, do it again, do it again
Day after day, I get up and I say
Come on, do it again, do it again
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The lead single of the Kinks’ 1984 album, Word of Mouth. The song was an attempt to capitalize off the success of the previous year’s single, “Come Dancing”. The single didn’t fare as well as the previously mentioned song, but I did crack the Top 40. The song is about the daily life of a working class man, getting up and doing the same thing over and over again, wondering when it will change.
