Don't bother cryin', don't bother callin'
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...look who's comin' 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 ya
I won't spend a lifetime worrying about ya.

Aah things got rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet and look...look who's 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 do me.

Aah things got rough and you couldn't wait
Now you're trippin' 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?

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