Dolly Parton - Here You Come Again
Dolly Parton’s “Here You Come Again” is a song about the emotional vulnerability that returns when an old lover reappears. Although the narrator has tried to regain her independence and move beyond the relationship, the person’s return quickly revives her feelings and weakens her determination to stay away. Written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the song was recorded by Parton and released in 1977 as the title track and lead single from her nineteenth solo studio album. Produced by Gary Klein and released through RCA Victor, it marked an important turning point in Parton’s career by presenting her in a polished country-pop style that appealed to both country and mainstream audiences. The single reached the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, while the album became Parton’s first platinum-certified record and achieved major commercial success. The song remains one of her signature recordings because it combines a bright, catchy arrangement with lyrics about the frustratingly powerful pull of a past romance.
Dolly Parton Here You Come Again Lyrics
Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you
All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go
All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
And here I go
Here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
