Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you know it's dark outside?

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you care about my pride?

Where do you think you're going?

I think that you don't know

You got no way of knowing

'Cause you got no place you can go

[Verse 2]

I understand your changes

How long before you reach the door?

I know where you think you're going

I know what you came here for

And now I'm sick of joking

You know I like you to be free

Where do you think you're going?

I think you better go with me, girl

[Verse 3]

You say there is no reason

Uh, but you still find cause to doubt me

When you ain't with me, girl

You're gonna be without me

[Verse 4]

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you know it's dark outside?

Where do you think you're going?

I wish I didn't care about my pride

And now I'm sick of joking

You know I like you to be free, girl

Where do you think you're going?

I think you'd better go with me, girl

[Verse 5]

Come on
