Loretta Lynn – Here I Am Again Lyrics

I told you that I’d never come around again
But here I am again, here I am again
I said I’d never let you get me down again
Here I am again here I am

Here I am, here we are
The story’s gettin’ old
I know I can’t go on, to you
But worse than bad, I can’t let go

I said words I swore I’d never speak
But again here I am again, here I am again
I thought I could stay strong but I got weak again
And here I am again, here I am

Here I am, here we are
The story’s gettin’ old
I know I can’t go on, to you
But worse than bad, I can’t let go

And oh, the nights’re cold
And I could use a friend
So here I am again
Here I am again…
