The third song of the second album Communiqué by Dire Straits is the song “Where Do You Think You’re Going?.” This song was released as a single together with the song “Lady Writer” in July of 1979. The length of the track is 3 minutes and 49 seconds and it’s a part of the first side of the album.
If we start to look at the lyric of the song, we will see that it is a “love affair” between a guy and a girl. The band had a lot of positive reviews for this song because it is a really pure melody with some unexplained love issues. The title alludes to something that is not clarified, and the question is where the girl thinks that she is going.
Roughly we can say that this woman or girl has left her boyfriend to save herself from future danger. The sense in this song is truly terrifying. Sadly, too many women would recognize the man whose fear about his pride combined with brutality make him think he can totally control his woman. He thinks that without him, she’ll be nothing, and he tries to make her believe that herself.
Anyway, the lyric of the song is emotional and the relaxing guitar solo in the background makes you think about your relationship. Hit the play button below and enjoy this classic hit song by Dire Straits.
Lyrics
Where do you think you’re going?
Don’t you know it’s dark outside?
Where do you think you’re going?
Don’t you care about my pride
Where do you think you’re going?
I think you don’t know
You got no way of knowing
You got no place you can go
I understand your changes
How long before you reach the door
I know, where you think you’re going?
I know what you came here for
And now I’m sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
Where do you think you’re going?
I think you’d better go with me, girl
You say there is no reason
But you still find cause to doubt me
When you ain’t with me, girl
You’re gonna be without me
Where do you think you’re going?
Don’t you know it’s dark outside
Where do you think you’re going?
Don’t you care about my pride
And now I’m sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
Where do you think you’re going?
I think you’d better go with me, girl
