Where Did It Go

Desmond Dekker


There was a song we used to sing 
Whenever this life get us down 
Then it would give us hope again 
Help pull ourselves up from the ground 

My body is achin' 
My finger is shakin' 
My will is breakin' 
Nothing to ease the pain, nooo, ha! 

Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah 
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah 
Where did it go? (Ooooh) 
The song we used to sing? Yeah 

Listen to me! 
What happened to the days we knew 
And all the great things we could do? 
Though we were young, we were so sure 
We couldn't feel this insecure 

Cause we were strong 
Couldn't go wrong 
Wouldn't be long 
To feel that happy song, noooo, ha! 

Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah 
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Ha! 
Where did it go? (Ooooh) 
The song we used to sing? Tell me now! 

Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah 
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) 
Where did it go? (Ooooh) 
The song we used to sing? Oooh Ha! 

Ha ha! Listen to me! 
There was a song we used to sing 
Whenever this life get us down (get us down) 
Then it would give us hope again (hope again) 
Help pull ourselves up from the ground 

My body is achin' 
My fingers are shakin' 
My will is breakin' 
Nothing to ease the pain, pain, nooo 

Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah 
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) 
Where did it go? (Ooooh) 
The song we used to sing? Tell me people 

Where did it go? (Where did it go?) 
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) 
Where did it go? (Ooooh) 
The song we used to sing? Tell me
