Yesterday a 90’s r&b song randomly popped in my head. I’ve tried Google, YouTube, even singing to Soundhound, and i can’t find the song.

As I remember it, the chorus goes like this:  
“Baby I’m back  
(right back in loooooove aaaagain)  
For the second time around…”

Something like that. Can anyone ID this song? I never even liked it that much, but it’s sort of driving me crazy not being able to identify it.

**Moderator Action**

Since this is about a song, let’s move it to Cafe Society (from GQ).

You may not have heard of him, but you definately heard him: he was the lead singer of Kool and the Gang in the 80s.
