[Intro: Handclaps leading into a syncopated funk drum groove with crisp hi-hats] [Spoken verse, low register] Lordy, Lordy, Lordy Uh [Acoustic guitar Solo, expressive, melodic, bluesy] [Verse: Handclaps, drumbeats continue. Low energy, close mic, intimate] Lord have mercy, Yeah Here we go again Life... Man. Oh, man. Life's been draggin' us down We been fightin' You know? Thought we were cured, Thought we were free But baby, no matter how hard We kick and scream We keep comin' back Yeah, We keep comin' back Right back to this place [Guitar Solo, expressive, swirling wah-wah guitar] [Pre-chorus] Oh, Baby Lord have mercy, Here we go again [Chorus: Explosive, gritty high falsetto, dynamic rhythm section] It's so strange This strange life we lead It's like an itch we can’t scratch Yeah, It's like an itch we can’t scratch [Acoustic guitar Solo, expressive, melodic, bluesy] [Verse: Handclaps, drumbeats continue. Low energy, close mic, intimate] Lord have mercy, Yeah You and me Here we go again Goin' round and round That's what we do We're both pickin' At the scabs that just Freshly healed Another confrontation Another silly argument over nuthin' We're circlin' round and round Like we're both lookin' For a KO in the ninth round [Guitar Solo, expressive, swirling wah-wah guitar] [Pre-chorus] Oh, Baby Lord have mercy, Here we go again [Chorus: Explosive, gritty high falsetto, dynamic rhythm section] It's so strange This strange life we lead It's like an itch we can’t scratch Yeah, It's like an itch we can’t scratch [Bridge: Acoustic guitar Solo, expressive, melodic, bluesy] Oh, Baby Lord have mercy, Here we go again Oh, Baby Lord have mercy, Here we go again [Verse: Handclaps, drumbeats continue. Low energy, close mic, intimate] Baby, Our strange relationship We can't seem to break this loop Keeps us dizzy, Gotta hold on for our lives Like two kids Spinning on a merry-go-round in the park Round and round and round Faster and faster If we let go It could be a disaster [Guitar Solo, expressive, swirling wah-wah guitar] [Pre-chorus] Oh, Baby Lord have mercy, Here we go again [Chorus: Explosive, gritty high falsetto, dynamic rhythm section] It's so strange This strange life we lead It's like an itch we can’t scratch Yeah, It's like an itch we can’t scratch [Outro: Guitar Solo, expressive, swirling wah-wah guitar] [Pre-chorus] Oh, Baby Lord have mercy, Here we go again [Chorus: Explosive, gritty high falsetto, dynamic rhythm section] It's so strange This strange life we lead It's like an itch we can’t scratch Yeah, It's like an itch we can’t scratch [High energy ad-libs to Fade-out]
