See How The Love Goes
America · Perspective [1984]
I can hear somebody knockin'
On my bedroom door
I find it rather shockin'
It's my best friend's girl
(Oo) Imagine my surprise
There's a hungry look in her eyes
See how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
She said, I'm feelin' kinda lonely
And only you will do
Would you like to get to know me
Like I wanna know you
(Oo) No tellin' what a man will do
Face to face with a woman like you
See how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
Oh yea, see how the love goes
I can hear her calling (calling)
But no one understands her (no one understands)
Beggin' me to let her in
And she's waiting for my answer
Should I open up the door
And let trouble walk in
Should I resist her even more
Or tell her, come on in
(Oo) No tellin' what a man will do
Face to face with a woman like you
See how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
Oh yea, see how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
Oh yea, see how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
On my bedroom door
I find it rather shockin'
It's my best friend's girl
(Oo) Imagine my surprise
There's a hungry look in her eyes
See how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
She said, I'm feelin' kinda lonely
And only you will do
Would you like to get to know me
Like I wanna know you
(Oo) No tellin' what a man will do
Face to face with a woman like you
See how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
Oh yea, see how the love goes
I can hear her calling (calling)
But no one understands her (no one understands)
Beggin' me to let her in
And she's waiting for my answer
Should I open up the door
And let trouble walk in
Should I resist her even more
Or tell her, come on in
(Oo) No tellin' what a man will do
Face to face with a woman like you
See how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
Oh yea, see how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
Oh yea, see how the love goes
Anybody here know how the love goes
See How The Love Goes
Released on the 1984 album Perspective, "See How The Love Goes" stands as a defining track in the catalog of the American rock band America. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of intricate guitar work and lush, harmonically rich arrangements that characterized their late 1970s and early 1980s output. With its driving rhythm and soaring vocals, the recording captures the band's transition into a more polished, radio-friendly sound while maintaining their complex musical identity. As a staple of their discography, the track remains a testament to the band's ability to craft memorable, emotionally resonant pop-rock anthems that have endured for decades.
