Where Were You When I Needed

(P. F. Sloan/S. Barri)

Don't botter cryin'
Don't botter 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' around

Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where

You're looking good
It's hard to fight it
There's no use explainin'
I've already decided
That livin' without ya
Is worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime
A-worryin' about ya

Things got rough
And you dissappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
And 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

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 me
I thought I could change ya
What good did it do me

Things got rough
And I couldn't wait
Now you're trippin' 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
