Roots Grass Where Were You When I Needed You Lyrics

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 any more 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

Oh, 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

Ah, 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

(Instrumental Break - Harpsichord)

Oh, you were so young, and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw ya, you really got to me
I thought I could change ya, what good did it do me

Ah, 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
Where were you when I needed ya
Where were you when I wanted ya
Where were you when I needed ya
