"Where Were You When I Needed You" lyrics

"Where Were You When I Needed You"
(originally by The Grass Roots)

Don't bother crying, don't bother calling
It's all over now, no use in stalling
The love once I 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 coming 'round

Where were you when I needed ya
Where were you when I wanted ya
Where were you when I needed ya
Where?

You're looking good
It's hard to fight it
There's no use explaining
I've already decided
That living with you
Is worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime a-worriying about you
Things get rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
And look, look who is standing there

Where were you when I needed ya
Where were you when I wanted ya
Where were you when I needed ya
Where?

You were so young and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
The first day I saw you
You really got to me
I thought I could change you
What good did it to me?
Things got rough and you couldn't wait
Now you're tripping back
But babe, babe it's too late

Where were you when I needed ya
Where were you when I wanted ya
Where were you when I needed ya
Where?
