Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life's been showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you gain what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you, there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

[Verse 1]
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our mind
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me

[Chorus]
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life's been showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

[Verse 2]
Now looking back on all we planned
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
[Chorus]
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life's been showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you gain what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you, there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

[Outro]
Do you know?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song is a cover of a Diana Ross song of the same name. This would technically mark the beginning of the feud with Mariah Carey, as the head of the label at the time, Tommy Mottolla, ordered Jennifer Lopez’s producers and writers to steal songs and ideas from unreleased Mariah material. Mariah had recorded this same cover song for her 1998 ‘’#1’s'‘ album.
