Where were you when I needed you?
That first day I saw you, you really got to me
Where were you when I needed you?
Well, you're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
Where were you when I needed you?
That livin' with you, it's worse than without you
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
You walked out when I was down
Well, now I'm well off
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
But no use explainin', I've already decided
Now I'm back on my feet
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where?
I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
And look, look who's comin' round
But look, look who's standin' there
Oh, you were so young and you were so wild
Where?
This time I'll even open the door for you
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?
I thought I could change you, what good did it do me?
Now you're tripping back
But, babe, babe, it's too late
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you
