Send "Again" Ringtone to Cell

I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me
In my mind

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

A wounded heart you gave
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many
I know you did

I come from a place that hurts
And God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
never fall again

Making love to you
Oh it felt so good and
Oh so right

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

So here we are alone again'
Didn't think it'd come to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss

I've come too close to happiness
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
No never fall again

Kinda late in the game and my heart is in
Your hands
Don't you stand there and then
Tell me you love
Me then leave again
Cause I'm falling in love with
You again

Hold me
Hold me
Don't ever let me go
Say it just one time
Say you love me
God knows I do
Love you
Again

    General Comment:This is one of my favorite sad love songs. All goes well with getting over a person until you see them again. Those old feelings resurface and it is hard to walk away, again.

    General Comment:This song is amazing and VERY relatable. The conflict of emotions is something that anyone can relate to. I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this song. It's one of the best JJ songs ever (in my opinion). This is up there with Mariah Carey's, "Without You".

    No better voice to sing this song.

    General Comment:i think this is the story of every girl who had a hard time getting over that special someone and you see him and all the feelings you thought that had burned slap you in the face and you end up back in the situation that you climbed out of hoping the whole time you wont get left in the dark again!

    General Comment:What an amazing song. This song is just so beautiful, pretty, sad, happy - a bit of everything!!! It's a very emotional song. I love everything about this song.. the words, the lovely tune, her voice!!! She is gorgeous.. she's angelic. Actually, this song has a very angelic sound!! I love her soft, gentle voice. There is something innocent about this song... magical. This song is like a rare diamond. I lovvvve the movie 'poetic justice'!!! gorgeous. Love Tupac in it!!! They made a very cute couple in that movie!!! Anyway... classic song!!!! filled with beauty and depth

    General Comment:this song was nominated for both a golden globe and academy award in 1994 for its use in "poetic justice". ironically, i don't think it's even on the soundtrack.
    it's about falling back in love with somebody you said you'd never fall for again.

    General Comment:whenever I hear this song at her concerts it makes me cry because when she gets to the last part of the verse, she stops and breaks it down a bit.

    General Comment:oh this song is beautiful. Sometimes you think you're over it, but when you see the person again, you realise you aren't... and the feeling comes back out of the blue...

    By the way, this song was so cute in "Poetic Justice" - anyone seen it?!
