Where Were You When I Needed You - Grass Roots
Dont bother cryin, dont bother crawlin
Its all over now, no use in stallin
The love I once felt, I dont feel anymore for you
This time Ill even open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well now Im well off
And look whos 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
Youre lookin good, its hard to fight it
But no use explainin, Ive already decided
That livin with you, its worse than without you
I wont spend a lifetime a-worryin about you
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
Now Im back on my feet
But look, look whos 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 nobodys 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 wouldnt wait
Now youre tripping back
But babe, its 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
