Where Were You When I Needed You

P.F. Sloan, Steve Barri - Songwriter

Don't bother crying, don't bother calling
It's all over now, there's no use in stalling
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 whose comin' round
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I need you, where

You're looking good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explain', I've already decided
That goin' with you is worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you
When things got bad, you disappeared
But I'm back on my feet and look, look whose standin' there

Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you

Where were you when I needed you, where

You were so young and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you, you really got to me
I thought I could change you, what could you do to me
When times got rough, ah, you wouldn't wait

Well, now you're trippin' back and babe, babe,  it's too late

Where were you when I needed you

Where were you when I wanted you

Where were you when I needed you
