Here I go again.
Watch it now 'cos
Here I go again.
I've been hurt so much before.

I told myself,
Yes I did,
No more, no more won't get hurt any more.
There I was by myself

Doin' all right
Until I saw you last night.
And then I knew that
Here I go again.

I cannot help it.
Here I go again.
Making the same mistakes,
Heading for more heartaches.

What can I do when there's nothing I can do?
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was blue.
What 's the use?
I'll just give in.

Try as I may,
And I do,
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win.
Now, you're here, so close to me.

I can't resist you,
And I knew when I kissed you.
I'm gonna sing now
Here I go again.

Watch it now 'cos
Here I go again.
Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love, in love.

Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love.
