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 uh you don't know
You got no way of knowing
There's really no place you can go

Verse 2:

I understood 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
you know I like to be free
Where do you think you're going?
I think you'd better go with me, girl

Where do you think you're going?

Where do you think you're going?

You know I like you to be free
So where do you think you're going?
I think you better go with me, girl
