One More Time With Feeling

Some people never come right out and say what they mean. They throw a little jab, leave it hanging in the air, and wait for you to react. If you challenge them, they act like they never said anything at all.

I wrote “One More Time With Feeling” from that place.

The title sounds like something you might hear on a bandstand or in a recording studio: Try it again—but this time, mean it. In the song, it becomes both advice and a challenge. If you have something to say, think about it, stand behind it, and say it with conviction.

I’ve given enough chances. I recognize the manipulation, I see through the performance, and I’m finally drawing the line. I’m not asking for another explanation.

Be honest with me—or watch me walk away.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is stop arguing and start moving.

VERSE 1

Don’t just put it out there.
Take a minute, think about it.
Get behind it, baby,
And one more time with feeling.

VERSE 2

You know you’re not gettin’ anywhere,
So you throw a little jab like you don’t care.
It’s not thrown at me, it’s tossed in the air.
Do you really think that act has a prayer?

CHORUS

Don’t just put it out there.
Take a minute, think about it.
Get behind it, baby,
And one more time with feeling.

VERSE 3

You say if I love you, I’ll do this or that.
You’re trying to make me feel like a back door mat.
But what you don’t know is I’m on to you.
I’m headed down the road, it’s long overdue.

VERSE 4

I gave you chances, but you threw ’em away.
And now you’re looking shocked, ’cause I won’t stay.
But I’m done trying, baby, my mind is clear.
If you ain’t standing with me, baby, I’m outta here.

CHORUS

Don’t just put it out there.
Take a minute, think about it.
Get behind it, baby,
And one more time with feeling.

CHORUS / OUTRO

Don’t just put it out there.
Take a minute, think about it.

Get behind it, baby,
And one more time.

Get behind it, baby,
And one more time with feeling.
