Play It Again Lyrics

You're in your suburban home
Hanging on the telephone
I'm in my room playing records
It takes me to another world
Like a holiday in the sun
Or when I am looking for a kiss
When I sit in my room
I listen to it over and over
Play it again - I think I'm obsessed with you
Play it again - I can't get enough of you
Play it again - Wearing out my sound system
Play it again - That song that I can't get out of my head
I met you in my wild youth
That's when I fell for you
But you were 2000 light years away
Well I guess I always knew
I'd have to say goodbye to you
Why is it always this way?
When I'm driving in my car
I listen to it over and over again
Play it again - I think I'm obsessed with you
Play it again - I can't get enough of you
Play it again - Wearing out my sound system
Play it again - That song that I can't get out of my head

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I LOVE this song! The references are just so fun! Simply a sweet ol' punk rock tribute. I have a crush on music too. :) "suburban home" - descendents?; "hanging on the telephone" - blondie, "holiday in the sun" - sex pistols; "2000 light years away" - green day...
