about

Sweet Fire playing at the KPOI Radio block party in Honolulu on Oahu, Hawaii in 1978 with Cherie singing lead.

Cherie may have written this about Martin who would go surfing with Pancho and Steve when not taking care of band business.

The song was also known by the band as, 'The Mango Song'!

lyrics

MY HEART IS WHERE MY MAN GOES


HE LEFT ME FOR SOME UNCHARTED OCEAN
WHOSE MOTION HE PREFERS
MAYBE HE'LL RETURN TO MINE
WHEN HE GETS TIRED OF HERS

I DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST DON'T KNOW
BUT WHO NEEDS ALL THE I TOLD YOU SO'S
ALL I DO THESE DAYS IS CRY

MY HEART IS WHERE MY MAN GOES

I KNOW SOME DAY WE'LL MEET AGAIN
MAYBE THEN WE'LL GET IT CLEAR
JUST WHY HE HAD TO MOVE AWAY
JUST WHY HE LEFT ME HERE

I DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST DON'T KNOW
BUT WHO NEEDS ALL THE I TOLD YOU SO'S
ALL I DO THESE DAYS IS CRY

MY HEART IS WHERE MY MAN GOES

WHATEVER HAPPENS TO ALL THE BROKEN HEARTS
AND SHATTERED DREAMS LIKE MINE
DOES THE LOVE JUST DISAPPEAR
OR THE HEART GROW STRONG IN TIME

HE LEFT ME FOR SOME UNCHARTED OCEAN – OCEAN
WHOSE MOTION HE PREFERS
MAYBE HE'LL RETURN TO MINE
WHEN HE GETS TIRED OF HERS

I DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST DON'T KNOW
BUT WHO NEEDS ALL THE I TOLD YOU SO'S
ALL I DO THESE DAYS IS CRY

MY HEART IS WHERE MY MAN GOES
