Where You Are
Judy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got me where you want me
And I hope you're satisfied
You've got me where you want me
And you hardly even tried
One single look was all I took
And then, starry-eyed
I watched my poor old heart
Go on that roller-coaster ride
I say I won't surrender
But I know darn well I will
My hopes are pretty slender
And my chances almost nil
Why should I try to alibi
Anyone can see
You've got me where you want me
And it's where I wanna be

You've got me where you want me
And I hope you're satisfied
You've got me where you want me
And you never even tried
A single look was all it took
And then, starry-eyed
I watched my poor heart
Go on that roller-coaster ride
I say I won't surrender
But I know darn well you will
My hopes are pretty slender
And my chances almost nil
Why should I try to alibi
When anyone can see
You've got me where you want me
You've got me where you want me
And it's where I wanna be




And it's where I wanna be
And it's where I wanna be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in this song express the singer's overwhelming feeling of being completely under the control of someone else, without any resistance. The opening lines state, "You've got me where you want me, and I hope you're satisfied," which suggests that the person speaking is not happy about their situation but is also resigned to it. They go on to say, "You've got me where you want me, and you hardly even tried," implying that this was an effortless effort on the part of the other person. The line "One single look was all I took, and then, starry-eyed, I watched my poor old heart go on that roller-coaster ride" underscores how easily the singer fell under the other person's power.


The singer admits that they won't fight back or try to resist, stating, "I say I won't surrender, but I know darn well I will." This suggests that the singer is aware of how weak their resolve is and how powerless they are in this situation. The line "Why should I try to alibi, anyone can see" indicates that the singer doesn't feel the need to explain themselves or try to make excuses for their behavior because it is so obvious to anyone who's paying attention. Despite feeling helpless, the singer seems to embrace their predicament, repeating the line "You've got me where you want me, and it's where I wanna be" several times throughout the song.


Overall, the lyrics in "Where You Are" convey a sense of being trapped and powerless in a situation but also feeling inexplicably drawn to it.
