Here You Come Again
Enchanting Echoes: Patti LaBelle's Melodic Tale of Love's Return
Lyrics
Here you come again,
Expresses the return of someone who was previously absent or distant.
just when I've begun to get myself together,
At a time when the speaker is starting to regain composure or stability.
you waltz right in the door,
Describes the sudden arrival or appearance of the person being addressed.
just like you've done before
Highlights the familiarity of this person's recurring behavior.
and wrap my heart 'round your little finger.
Illustrates the person's ability to emotionally manipulate the speaker.
Here you come again,
Reiterates the unexpected return of the person.
just when I'm about to make it work without you,
When the speaker is on the brink of managing life without the person.
you look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies
Emphasizes the power of the person's deceptive and attractive words.
and pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you.
Reflects the confusion created by the person's actions and words.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
Highlights the person's ability to disarm the speaker by merely smiling.
and there go all my defenses.
Explains the collapse of the speaker's emotional barriers due to the person's influence.
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
Indicates the person's capability to disturb the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
Describes the overwhelming impact of the person's presence on the speaker's senses.
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
Compliments the appearance of the person in a way that exceeds expectations.
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
Expresses the confusion caused by the person's influence, clouding the speaker's thoughts.
is here you come again and here I go.
Summarizes the cycle of the person's return and the speaker's reaction to it.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
Reiterates the impact of the person's smile on the speaker's emotional defenses.
and there got all my defenses.
Reinforces the idea of the person's ability to break down the speaker's defenses.
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
Emphasizes the gradual influence the person has on the speaker's thoughts and feelings.
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
Repeats the overwhelming effect of the person's presence on the speaker's senses.
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
Echoes the admiration for the person's appearance, causing significant emotional impact.
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
Highlights the person's ability to unsettle the speaker, dominating their thoughts.
is here you come again and here I go and here I go
Emphasizes the cyclical nature of the person's return and the speaker's response.
