There She Goes
Joe feat. G Unit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The house next door just came up for sale
She's goin' home to Mama she says, "He can go to hell."
The couple down the block are splittin' up, I hear
There the third one's on our street this year

It's just another day in Anytown, USA
Somebody's hurt, somebody's blue, somebody moves away
What little they do to make it work don't seem to do much good
When love moves out, there goes the neighborhood

First, they take off their wedding bands
They call it quits then call the moving vans
He takes his and she takes hers
And what's left over gets left out on the curb
It's just another day in Anytown, USA

Somebody's hurt, somebody's blue, somebody moves away
What little they do to make it work don't seem to do much good
When love moves out, there goes the neighborhood

It's just another day in Anytown, USA
Somebody's hurt, somebody's blue, somebody moves away
What little they do to make it work don't seem to do much good




When love moves out, there goes the neighborhood
When love moves out, there goes the neighborhood

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joe feat. G Unit's song "There She Goes" are a poignant commentary on relationships and their impact on the dynamics of a community. The song is narrated in the first person and is an observation of the singer's neighborhood, where couples are frequently breaking up and moving away. The opening lines of the song talk about the house next door being up for sale, and the woman who is leaving her partner and going back to her mother. The message is a warning that when a relationship ends, it has a ripple effect that extends beyond the couple involved. It affects the entire community, and the people who live around them.


The song addresses the difficulties and challenges faced by couples in relationships. The lyrics suggest that even when couples try to make things work, it doesn't always last. The lines "What little they do to make it work don't seem to do much good," emphasizes that sometimes couples can try their best, but if the relationship is not working out and love moves out, there goes the neighborhood. The idea is that a relationship breakdown can result in a sense of loss and hurt to those around them.


Furthermore, the song recognizes much of human life consists of days that seem mundane and repetitive. It is a reminder that anyone is susceptible to heartbreak – indestructible feelings don’t exist – and relationships come with no guarantees. In the end, "There She Goes" is about the fragility of relationships, and how it often leads to much sadness and pain for all involved.
