Where's It Going To End
Clifford T. Ward Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caught up in an endless stream of traffic
Makes me wonder whether she will wait
And where's it going to end?

Our love is just another broken down motor car
I need your help to get it back on the road
It's brought us such a long way and we could still go far
But for the fact that the engine is cold.

If you love me why don't you get out and help me push?
We could get it started if we really wanted to
I know the steering's not much good but we can get it fixed
All it needs is just a little overhaul
(Little overhaul).

Our love is just another broken down motor car
Our love is just another broken down motor car.

Caught up in an endless stream of traffic
Makes me wonder whether she will wait




And where's it going to end?
Where's it going to end?
