What Goes On Lyrics
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart,
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind?
The other day I saw you,
As I walked along the road,
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold.
It’s so easy for a girl like you to lie,
Tell my why?
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart,
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind?
I met you in the morning,
Waiting for the tides of time,
But now the tide is turning,
I can see that I was blind.
It’s so easy for a girl like you to lie,
Tell me why?
What goes on in your heart.
I used to think of no-one else,
But you were just the same,
You didn’t even think of me
As someone with a name,
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die,
Tell me why?
What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart,
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind?
It's about a guy who's been betrayed by his girlfriend, presumably by way of infidelity. Fairly self-explanatory in that regard.
I can really relate to this song. I've actually never had someone cheat on me. However, I've been in a couple of situations where thoughts like "when I saw him [or her, as the case was] with you/ I could feel my future fold" and "did you mean to break my heart and watch me die?" crossed my mind.
In all, this a very underrated song, IMO. A lot of people don't like for its sound or don't realize it even exists, which is a shame, since I think it's a lovely and somewhat tragic song.
The only reason it sounds remotely country is because of the sleepy guitar in the backgrouond and Ringo's voice. I like this song, not because of the lyrics or any specific instrument, but the overall balance and crispness. It is just so clean.
I LOVE RINGO
yea, what the fuck does go on...
...girls
They say Ringo wrote this, but he says he "only wrote 3 words". Anyway, this is my least favorite Bealtles song. I think it is a gap in the great album Rubber Soul.
I kind of like this song. As a singer, Ringo was a hell of a drummer.
Anyway, this song is about a guy finding out his girlfriend has been cheating on him and he's asking her what she was thinking in breaking his heart like that. Pretty self-explanatory.
At first I really didn't care for this song, but after a few times hearing it, it sort of grows on you.
Some critics say this is the worst song off Rubber Soul because it sounds Country. This is my favourite song of the album because of that same reason!
I love the lyrics and I love Ringo's voice!
i heard this stupid song, or a cover of it by someone who sounded like sufjan stevens, the night i was thinking about a guy i was confused about. ugh. that's what it means to me, what the hell is he thinking?
