Can anyone tell me why the song "I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living" by BB
King (I also have versions by Paul Butterfield and Fleetwood Mac sometimes
carries the title "All Over Again" as well. When I follow the lyrics, I
can't seem to find a clue.
What is the original title (I guess BB wrote it)?

The song "All over again (a.k.a. I've got a (good) mind to give up living)"
was written by Carl B. Adams.
Lyrics:
I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
And that's when I decided, that I would be better off dead
It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because it's all over now, and baby you can bet on that
OK, no direct reference to "All over again"; maybe "All over now" would have
been a better title...

My guess is that it wasn't the first woman that left him and that he had to
face "the bad times" all over again.
But this time he can't stand it anymore and wants to die...
