where were you when i needed you

don't bother crying

don't bother calling

it's all over now

no use in stalling

the love once i 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 coming '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 you

i won't spend a lifetime a-worrying about you

things get rough and you disappeared

now i'm back on my feet

and look

look who is standing there

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 to me?

things got rough and you couldn't wait

now you're tripping back

but babe

babe it's too late
