Go Go Baby
The Cardinals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder if you take a breath
When you shout your lies
I wonder if he'll smile, like we smiled
When we were young, much younger then
And I kiss you and I'm thinking of a thousand times
When I miss you and I need you, but you're not around
I'm wondering
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Thinking about my life alone, but it was you, it was always me and you
And I just want to blank this space, 'cause I see you and you're with him
And the smile runs from my face
As I feel you, are you with me? I can read that smile
When I miss you and I need you but you're not around
I'm wondering
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where, where do you go?
Where do you go?




Where do you go?
Where do you go?

Line by Line Meaning

I wonder if you take a breath
I'm questioning whether or not you stop to breathe when telling lies


When you shout your lies
I'm thinking about the way you speak deceitfully and loudly


I wonder if he'll smile, like we smiled
I'm wondering if he'll smile as much as we used to when we were happy together


When we were young, much younger then
I'm reminiscing about the time when we were young and carefree


And I kiss you and I'm thinking of a thousand times
Every time I kiss you, I recall all the happy memories we've shared


When I miss you and I need you, but you're not around
I feel your absence when I'm in need of your presence


I'm wondering
I'm contemplating where you might be


Where do you go?
I'm asking where you disappear to


Thinking about my life alone, but it was you, it was always me and you
Even when I'm alone, my thoughts always revolve around you and our time together


And I just want to blank this space, 'cause I see you and you're with him
I'm trying to forget this moment because I see you with someone else


And the smile runs from my face
As soon as I see you with another person, my smile fades away


As I feel you, are you with me?
I'm questioning whether or not you're still emotionally present, even though you're physically with someone else


I can read that smile
I can tell how you're truly feeling based on your facial expression


Where, where do you go?
I'm still trying to figure out where you disappear to


Where do you go?
I'm still questioning where you go when you're not with me


Where do you go?
I'm desperately trying to locate where you are when I'm alone
