Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
When you kissed me good-night
You didn't walk home
The same way you did last-night.
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
You were dancing with me
But I saw you flirting with her
Were all the pretty words you whispered to me
Meant for her, meant for her?
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who do you love?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Where did you go?
I wanna know, I wanna know
You were dancing with me
But I saw you flirting with her
Were all the pretty words you whispered to me
Meant for her, meant for her?
Mama said you were bad
And I should leave you alone
You had a playboys reputation
With all the girls you know
So I got to know
Just where I belong
Am I just another girl
Are you leading me on, leading me on?
