Like Every Time Before
Hollies · Other Songs - Hollies
I'd been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fightin' me, fightin' me
If you could only look into my eyes
Then you would see the truth within them lies
That I am trying hard to bring us back together
You try so hard to complicate our love
But underneath it all it's pride my love
That's hurting us and keeping us apart
If you'd only realize
I'd been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fightin' me, fightin' me
If you'd only realize
I'd been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fightin' me, fightin' me
I start to wonder if it's worth it all
But then I look at you and start to fall
In love again like every time before
Umm, in love again like every time before
Oh, in love again like every time before
Like Every Time Before

The song reflects the era's focus on upbeat, danceable tracks that defined the British Invasion's contribution to global pop music. While the Hollies are best known for hits like "The Battle of Liverpool," this recording showcases their versatility and consistent quality across their catalogue. It remains a representative piece of their work, capturing the spirit of the time with its lively tempo and harmonies.
