Once Again It Happened to Me Lyrics

And once again, it happened to me,

I suddenly remembered thee.

How did I fall in love so fast?

How did I forget the past?

That I'm the one with the beer gut flair,

The one girls simply don't prefer.

The one who always stays alone,

Who cries at night beside the phone.

I saw your picture yesterday,

A little tremble came my way.

A tiny teardrop filled my eye,

It hurt inside, I can't deny.

The hole within my heart expanded,

Breathing hard, I felt stranded.

I began to play that old routine,

To calm my mind, to keep it clean.

I told myself the usual line,

"Didn't date her long, you're fine."

Again, I had to self-deceive,

And lose a bit of me to grieve.

I took a walk to clear my head,

'Cause alcohol I mustn't tread.

Due to troubles with my liver,

I can't drink to drown this river.

And once again, it happened to me,

I suddenly remembered thee.

How did I fall in love so fast?

How did I forget the past?

That I'm the one with the beer gut flair,

The one girls simply don't prefer.

The one who always stays alone,

Who cries at night beside the phone.

And once again, I wished to forget,

Simply let go without regret.

To forget you and move on,

Yet I longed to know you more.

To be with you like before,

To breathe you in, your scent adore.

To think of how to take my place

As the perfect one in your embrace.

And once again, it happened to me,

I suddenly remembered thee.

How did I fall in love so fast?

How did I forget the past?

That I'm the one with the beer gut flair,

The one girls simply don't prefer.

The one who always stays alone,

Who cries at night beside the phone.

And once again, I sighed so deep,

Remembered you, began to weep.

How did I fall in love so fast?

How did I forget the past?

That I'm the one who's left behind,

The one who's always on your mind—

Or so I wish, but truth be told,

I'm alone here in the cold.

And once again, it happened to me,

I suddenly remembered thee.

How did I fall in love so fast?

How did I forget the past?

That I'm the one with the beer gut flair,

The one girls simply don't prefer.

The one who always stays alone,

Who cries at night beside the phone.
