• Here you come again
  Just when I've begun to get myself together
  You waltz right in the door
  Just like you've done before
  And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
  
  Here you come again
  Just when I'm about to make it work without you
  You look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies
  And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you
  
  All you gotta do is smile that smile
  And there go all my defenses
  Just leave it up to you and in a little while
  You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
  Here you come again
  Lookin' better than a body has a right to
  And shakin' me up so that all I really know
  Is here you come again and here I go
  
  All you gotta do is smile that smile
  And there go all my defenses
  Just leave it up to you and in a little while
  You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
  
  Here you come again
  Lookin' better than a body has a right to
  And shakin' me up so that all I really know
  Is here you come again, and here I go, here I go
  And here I go
  And here I go
  Here you come again and here I go
  Here I go
  And here I go
  Here I go Writer/s: Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil
