Where Were You When I Needed You
[Verse 1]
Mm, don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
It's all over now, no use in stallin'
The love once I felt
I don't feel any more 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 (Look who's comin' 'round)
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed ya?
Where were you when I wanted ya?
Where were you when I needed ya, babe?
[Verse 2]
You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
No use explainin', I've already decided
That livin' with ya
Is worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about ya
When times got bad you disappeared
Well, I'm back on my feet
And look, look who's standin' there (Look who's standin' there)
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed ya?
Where were you when I wanted ya?
Where were you when I needed ya, babe?
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
Ah, you were so young, and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
The first day I saw ya
You really got to me
I knew I could change you
What good did it to me?
When times got rough, ah you wouldn't wait
Oh now, you're trippin' back
And babe, babe it's too late (Babe, it's too late)
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed ya?
Where were you when I wanted ya?
Where were you when I needed ya, babe?
Where were you when I needed ya?
Where were you when I wanted ya?
Where were you when I needed ya?
