Lyrics
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 you don't know
You got no way of knowing
There's really no place you can go
I understand your changes
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
I know I like you to be free
Where do you think you're going?
I think you better go with me girl
You say there is no reason
But you still find cause to doubt me
If you ain't with me girl
You're gonna be without me
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?
And now I'm sick of joking
I know I like you to be free
Where do you think you're going?
I think you better go with me girl
*care = importar
* pride = orgullo
* sick of joking = cansado de tonterías
