We Go Together
The Moonglows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We go together, like castles and kings
Birds of the feather, two robins in spring
Let's go steady, you are my first love
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We like the same things, that make living sweet
Loving like movies, in the balcony seat
Let's go steady, you are my first love

So, please, listen to me
Someday we will be
Side by side, hand in hand
You'll be wearing my wedding band

We go together, like two straws in a coke
Why not come over, and you'll meet my folks
Let's go steady, you are my first love

So, please, listen to me
Someday we will be
Side by side, hand in hand
You'll be wearing my wedding band

We go together, like two straws in a coke
Why not come over, and you'll meet my folks
Let's go steady, you are my first love





You are my first love
You are my first love

Overall Meaning

The Moonglows's song We Go Together is a classic love song that captures the essence of young love in the 1950s when dating was all about being exclusive, committed, and spending time on shared interests. The song starts with the lyrics "We go together, like castles and kings. Birds of the feather, two robins in spring" which compares the couple's relationship to romantic, long-lasting, and stable things like castles and kings. The use of the metaphor "birds of the feather, two robins in spring" signifies that the couple is happy, carefree, and in love.


The lyrics "Let's go steady, you are my first love" expresses the singer's desire for a commitment from his love interest. He wants them to be exclusive and committed to each other, which was a big deal back then. The following lyrics "We like the same things, that make living sweet. Loving like movies, in the balcony seat" describe compatibility and sharing similar interests, which was highly valued in the '50s. They enjoy spending time together doing things they both love, like watching movies from balcony seats, a popular trend in that era. The line "So please listen to me, someday we will be side by side, hand in hand, You'll be wearing my wedding band" implies that the singer is confident in their future together and he sees them growing old and happy together.


The last verse "We go together, like two straws in a coke, Why not come over, and you'll meet my folks" is another metaphor for the two's relationship being inseparable, like two straws in a Coke. Inviting his girlfriend to meet his parents also shows that he is proud of their relationship and wants to declare it publicly.


Overall, the song's lyrics portray a simple but deep love story of two young people in the 1950s who are deeply in love and committed to each other.
