I Go Where I Go
Boy George · Tense Nervous Headache [1988]
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
Baby I know this ain't perfection
But you're good to me sometimes
Holding onto love for those moments
Some would say is a waste of my time
When I hold you up people say I'm sad
Sad and lonely
When you put me down people say I'm sad
But they don't know me
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
Where I go
People tell me boy, it's foolish
Always got so much to say
Lovers, dreamers, come between us
But we always find our way
If you break my heart I will still be here
Like a broken fool
Told you from the start, pain won't make us part
That's the golden rule
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
I go where I go
They don't tell us nothing new
We're as bright as day
Live on love, that's what we do
This is what I say
I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
Baby I know this ain't perfection
But you're good to me sometimes
Holding onto love for those moments
Some would say is a waste of my time
When I hold you up people say I'm sad
Sad and lonely
When you put me down people say I'm sad
But they don't know me
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
Where I go
People tell me boy, it's foolish
Always got so much to say
Lovers, dreamers, come between us
But we always find our way
If you break my heart I will still be here
Like a broken fool
Told you from the start, pain won't make us part
That's the golden rule
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
I go where I go
They don't tell us nothing new
We're as bright as day
Live on love, that's what we do
This is what I say
I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I Go Where I Go
Released on the 1988 album Tense Nervous Headache, "I Go Where I Go" stands as a defining track in Boy George's evolution from new wave to synth-pop. The song exemplifies the era's glossy production style, blending melodic hooks with the distinctive vocal delivery that characterized George's solo career. It reflects the personal themes often explored in his discography, capturing the sentiment of freedom and self-determination. As a staple of his catalog, the recording remains a significant example of late-80s British pop music, showcasing the artistic maturity he achieved after his early fame with Culture Club.
