Where Were You When I Needed You

[Verse 1]
Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
It's all over now, no use in stallin'
The love I once felt
I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well, now I'm well off
And look, look who's comin' 'round

[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?

[Verse 2]
You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explainin', I've already decided
That livin' with you
Is worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about ya
Ah, things got rough and you disappeared
Now, I'm back on my feet
But look, look who's standin' there

[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?

[Verse 3]
You were so young, and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw ya
You really got to me
I thought I could change ya
What good did it do me?
Now, things got rough, and you wouldn't wait
Now, you're trippin' back, but babe, babe it's too late

[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?

[Outro]
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
