Saw you there and your laughter seemed to fill the air A scent like perfume from your lovely hair I said that I do adore My heart said to me, don't walk head on into misery Hey, with your eyes wide open can't you see? A hurts in store just like before Oh ho ho, but here I go again walking into love Here I go again never thinking of The danger that might exist Disregarding all of this just for you I ignore the detour sign I won't stop until you're mine I'm past the point of no return Girl, you walk by and I said to me, myself and I Now we've got to give it one more try I know somehow the time is now, right now Oh whoa, here I go again walking into love Here I go again walking into love Here I go, here I go Here I go, here I go again
