Hi
Hi
Welcome
Who's this?
Jonny
Oh, okay, just checking
Shrink-wrapped magazines in a paper bag
He hugged me when I came home
Only boy in a ballet class
(He hugged me when I came home)
Dad's on the pulpit talking about love
Mum's in the nursery cussing me out
(He hugged me when I came home)
Jean was crazy but she loved me
When she died I slept in her car
(He hugged me when I came home)
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Coming back at me
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Get the best of me
Get the best of me
Have a headache?
We'll grab the oil
If you complain
Well, thats the devil talking
(He hugs me when I come home)
Your sister got married fourteen times
But if you fall in love, son, that's a crime
(He hugs me when I come home)
Well I fell in love and told them I was happy
My dad hugged me and said this would be the last hug
(This would be the last hug)
(This would be the last hug)
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Coming back at me
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Get the best of me
Get the best of me
Philip took me out for pizza in London
He said they were his friends and they weren't mine
Philip took me for a walk in New York City
(Please hug me when I come home)
He told me my story was boring
He told me my story was boring
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Coming back at me
Here, here I go again
All these memories
Get the best of me
Get the best of me
Here I go
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again
