Where Do I Go From Here
New Kids on the Block Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do I tell you I still love you
And where do I go from here
Do I tell you I still miss you
Can't you see
You're a part of me
Don't you know
My problems are few
When I'm with you
What should I do
I don't know, I don't know
Where do I go from here
Do I tell you I still love you
And where do I go from here
Do I tell you I still miss you
Picture me
Not loving you
Picture you
What you're going through
Can't you see
You're a part of me
Don't you know
I can't let you go
Where do I go from here
Do I tell you I still love you
And where do I go from here
Do I tell you I still miss you
Where do I go, where do I go
From here
Where do I go, where do I go
From here
Tell me, do I tell you that I love you
Tell me, do I tell you that I need you
The lyrics to New Kids on the Block's song "Angel/Please Don't Go Girl/Where Do I Go From Here" reflect the struggles of someone who is unsure about what to do in a relationship. The repetition of the title phrase "Where do I go from here" emphasizes the singer's confusion and indecisiveness. The first verse acknowledges that the person still has feelings for their partner, but they are uncertain whether they should express them or not. The chorus repeats this sentiment, asking where they should go and whether they should admit their love and longing for their partner. The second verse takes a different approach, asking the listener to imagine what it would be like if the singer didn't love their partner anymore and how it would affect them.
The bridge highlights the importance of the partner in the singer's life, stating that they are a part of them and that they can't let them go. This internal struggle is further reinforced by the line "What should I do, I don't know" in the first verse. The song ultimately leaves the question unanswered, inviting the listener to ponder what the singer should do.
Overall, the song showcases the difficulties of relationships and making decisions about them. It speaks to anyone who has ever been in a similar situation and had trouble knowing what to do next.
