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, 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..ere...ere

Well 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 ya
I won't spend a lifetime a worryin about ya
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 ya
Where were you when I wanted ya
Where were you when I needed ya
Where..ere...ere

Well 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, 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..ere...ere
