Where Were You When I Needed You

The Grass Roots

(P.F. Sloan/Steve Barri)

|
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 who's comin' round
|
Where were you when I needed you
|
Where were you when I wanted you
|
Where were you when I needed you
|
Where..ere...ere
|
You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
|
But no use explainin', I've already decided
|
That livin' with you, it's worse than without you
|
I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you
|
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
|
Now I'm back on my feet
|
But look, look who's standing there
|
Where were you when I needed you
|
Where were you when I wanted you
|
Where were you when I needed you
|
Where..ere...ere
|
Oh, 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 good did it do me
|
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
|
Now you're tripping back
|
But 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
|
Where..ere...ere
