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
