Where Did I Go Wrong
LSG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Who you know
Make you dance like I do?
Huh?
Let me know
Who you know
Make you dance like I do?

I remember when
You gave a damn about me
And how I made you so happy
And now I wish that things could go
Back the way they used to be, girl

Tell me where did I go wrong
Do you have a answer for me, baby?
Where did I go wrong
Cuz you're driving me crazy, crazy, crazy
Everything was cool yesterday
Until you told me you had to get away
Away, no explaination
You must be in a situation somewhere else
Gotta be 'Bout the only way you can leave me by myself

I remember when
You gave a damn about me
And how I made you so happy
And now I wish that things could go
Back the way they used to be, girl

Was it something your girlfriend
Said I did?
Or was it just a misconception
Of the life I live
Did I party too much for you, girl?
Tell me what I gotta do
Cuz never in my wildest dreams
Did I think you would leave

I remember when
You gave a damn about me
And how I made you so happy
And now I wish that things could go
Back the way they used to be, girl

All I wanted to do
Was be a man to you
I worked so hard
To keep us together
Whatever it was
That makes you wanna leave
Baby, I'm sorry, I wish you would tell me
Where did I go wrong?

Come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Who you know
Make you dance like I do?
Huh?
Let me know
Who you know
Make you dance like I do?

I remember when
You gave a damn about me
And how I made you so happy




And now I wish that things could go
Back the way they used to be, girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to LSG's "Where Did I Go Wrong" is a plea from the singer asking his lover where he went wrong and what he did to make her want to leave him. The song starts by him asking who could make her dance like he does, which is a rhetorical question because he believes he is the only one who can. He then reminisces about how things used to be between them, and how he wishes they could go back to how they were before.


He asks for an explanation as to why she wants to leave, and wonders if it was something he did or the way he lived his life that turned her off. He apologizes for whatever it was, and wishes she would tell him what he did wrong. The chorus repeats the same question and shows the singer's desperation to understand where he went wrong.


Overall, the song is a heartbreakingly sincere plea for answers and a desire to fix what was broken in their relationship. The melody and rhythm complement the lyrics and convey the emotions of despair, longing, and regret.
