Where Do We Go from Here?
Jamiroquai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That's the way love goes
Will it change you inside out
And then it flows
To the places unfamiliar yeah

Let me tell, I'm hot for you
You're so hot for me
So get on girl
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
I'm hot for you
You're so hot for me
So get on
I want to get it on with you
I'm sending you a message
I hope you got the sense to read between the lines
You know that in the book it says that
For me you never seem to find the time
Come on I've waited for your phone calls
But you must be uptown having fun
When you do that thing you do
I get so excited too
But you never think to ask me if I want to
Come with you
So honey where do we go from here
You know baby
I've been trying to find out but I'm still
Some way from knowing
You know I am, come on
It's not exactly clear, no no
The love you should be giving me
Is the love you're rarely showing
That's the way love goes
That's the way
That's the way it goes for me and you
Come on let me tell you now

I feel you're pushing me out
Soon I'm gonna lose my patience girl
Can't understand what you're about
Cause there's no communication
You say you love to love me, love to love me
But you always keep your distance
So honey strike me off your list
If your love comes with a twist
Cause I want the part that lingered on my lips when we first kissed

Say do you love me
If you do tell me something
And make it true
Do you love me
I need to know
Baby can't you tell me where we're gonna go
Where do we go from here
I've been trying to find out but I'm still some way from knowing

It's not exactly clear no no
The love you should be giving me
Is the love you're rarely showing
That's the, that's the way love goes
And where it's taking us well we don't know
So let's move straight on ahead
And tow in the line between us girl

I think I'd sooner make this love dead
Than waste all my time on you, yeah
I'm wasting all my time
I'm gonna learn learn learn
That's the way love goes
That's the way
It's gonna hurt me so bad
But I won't let it show
I get the feeling that it's gonna
Tear out my mind till I can no longer breathe

I know I'm gonna learn, learn, learn
That's the way love goes

Where do we go from here?
I've been trying to find out but I'm still some way from knowing
It's not exactly clear
The love you should be giving me
Is the love you're rarely showing
Hey but that's the way love goes now
You know that's the way love goes

I'm so hot for you




I'm so hot for you
Honey I'm so hot for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jamiroquai's "Where Do We Go from Here?" express the confusion and frustration of a rocky relationship. The opening lines, "That's the way love goes / Will it change you inside out / And then it flows / To the places unfamiliar yeah," suggest that the singer is uncertain about where the relationship is headed and whether or not it will change him fundamentally. He then confesses his attraction to the other person, but laments that their dynamic isn't working: "I've waited for your phone calls / But you must be uptown having fun / When you do that thing you do / I get so excited too / But you never think to ask me if I want to / Come with you." The chorus repeats the question of where the relationship is headed, and the second verse is similarly focused on miscommunication and disappointment: "I feel you're pushing me out / Soon I'm gonna lose my patience girl / Can't understand what you're about / Cause there's no communication."


Overall, the song captures the angst and frustration of an uncertain, confusing, and unfulfilling relationship. The repeated refrain of "That's the way love goes" suggests resignation to the ups and downs of love, while the repeated question of "Where do we go from here?" underscores the sense of insecurity and uncertainty that the singer feels.

This is such a great album. This song makes me think about what im going through now and not getting upset about it. What a twist on heartbreak. If I listened to this right...

@AMBK

I've had this song on repeat for the past 3 hours. Loved Jamiroquai since I was a kid and have the albums but I feel like I'm discovering this song for the very first time.

@Redgoo2

This is the kind of thing that should be on YouTube trending

@nor3pine

So true

@seanoconnor5484

Redgoo2 your prayers have been answered

@akita769

I think that it not being anywhere on trending is what makes it even better. Reserved just for educated people.

@pneptun

hehe - it already WAS trending, 20yrs ago (and i was listening to it alread then ;) but it would be kinda sad if the same music that was hot 20yrs ago was still hot today... (and pls don't bring "well the music then was better, today's music is sh*t" - nope, beauty is in the eyes (ears in this case) of the beholder ;)

@minorsnow5306

Jamiroquai trending??!!?!!....I can't wait 🤓
