Where do you go to (my lovely)?

In 2022, I wrote revised lyrics for Peter Sarstedt's 1969 song, 'Where do you go to (my lovely)'.

 

You can read my lyrics below...

And/or listen to my audio version here: Where do you go to (2022) 

 

 

 

 

 

You talk like a Russian princess
With plumped lips & a ripe cupid’s bow
You blow a perfect air kiss
To those that you don’t really know, no no, not at all

You dance like they do on Tiktok
Swinging shoulders & hips to the beat
You know that you look very hot
Arousing envy in all whom you meet, what a feat, feel the heat

[CHORUS 1]
But where do you go to my lovely
when your mobile phone battery is dead
tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your clothes are all made to highlight
your features your curves and your hair
Your bodycon fashions fit tight
Cos you are an influencer, so pretty, we can see

Your breasts are so perfectly formed
That they dare us not to stare
We wonder if they’re silicone
Or maybe a gummy bear, something’s there, you never share

[CHORUS 2]
Where do you go to my beauty
when you’re not swiping left or right
Tell em the thoughts that surround you
When you're alone in your bed in the night, out of sight, whatta fright

You're seen in all the right places
Snapchat, Insta, Youtube and the net
Posting perfectly-posed smiling faces
Seeking likes from those you’ve never met, never could, never should

We've seen all the meals that you've eaten
All the places that you’ve been
We've seen all the people you’re meeting
Even seen your daily routine, how serene, oh so keen

[CHORUS 1]
But where do you go to my lovely
when your mobile phone battery is dead
tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

You proudly promote your webpage
Adding daily to the image you’ve spun
Yeah, it’s a fake for the glittering stage
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha

They say with the support of your followers
You’ll soon be a millionaire
But what if it makes your life hollower?
Do you wonder if they'll really care, or give a damn

[CHORUS 2]
Where do you go to my beauty
when you’re not swiping left or right
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
When you're alone in your bed in the night, out of sight, whatta fright

[CHORUS 1]
But where do you go to my lovely
when your mobile phone battery is dead
tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
