Introduction
There’s something magical about a song that feels like a heartfelt conversation—a melody that makes you pause, reflect, and maybe even smile through a tear. That’s exactly what “Do It All Over Again” by Sweet captures. Performed live on ZDF Fernsehgarten on June 23, 2002, this track is a beautiful blend of nostalgia and hope, wrapped in the signature sound of a band that has stood the test of time.
Sweet, a band synonymous with glam rock hits like “Ballroom Blitz” and “Fox on the Run”, took a more introspective turn with this song. It’s not just about the glitter and high-energy anthems they’re known for. Instead, “Do It All Over Again” feels like a quiet moment of reflection—a song that asks, “If you could relive it all, would you?” It’s a question that resonates universally, whether you’re looking back on love, life, or the choices that shaped your journey.
The live performance on ZDF Fernsehgarten adds a unique charm to the song. There’s something so raw and genuine about seeing a band like Sweet perform in a setting that’s both intimate and lively. The energy of the crowd, the warmth of the summer day, and the band’s connection with their audience create a moment that feels timeless. It’s as if the song was meant to be experienced live, with its message of second chances and cherished memories echoing through the air.
What makes this song truly special is its emotional depth. It’s not just a performance; it’s a reminder of the beauty in life’s imperfections and the power of starting over. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Sweet or someone discovering their music for the first time, “Do It All Over Again” speaks to the heart. It’s a song that invites you to reflect, to dream, and to embrace the idea that every moment—good or bad—is worth living.

Lyrics
This time you’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are
Sharp words from soft red lips
Scratch me with your fingertips
I’ve learned my lesson and I learned it will
To get to heaven got to go through hell
Here I stand with my soul to sell
To you, yeah
Play with fire you’ll end up burned
You think by now I should have learned
I said if you wanna someone else
Then you can go yourself
I tried so hard but I can’t say no
I can’t hold back I can’t let go
A self destructive one man show
Oh
You know I want you, you know I need you
I’d getdown on my knees and pray
You know I want to do what you do
I hang on every word you say
Just give me one chance to do a new dance
I swear I’ll try and change my ways
And then I do it all over again
Do it all over again
Been down this road before
Shouldn’t do this any more
A voice inside my head says STOP
I search for pleasure but I just found pain
I can’t get off this runaway train
So laugh at me while I cry in vain
Oh
You know I love you, you know I want you
Can you give me one more try
I didn’t want to, I didn’t mean to
I didn’t need to make you cry
And I had to, you what I’d do
I’d take a trip right back in time and then
I’d do it all over again
I’d do it all over again
