Grass Roots Where Were You When I Needed You Lyrics

(Verse)
Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
It's all over now, there's 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

(Pre-Chorus)
You walked out when I was down
Now I'm well off and look
Look who's comin' round!

(Chorus)
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where?

(Verse)
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 you
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet, but look,
Look who's standing there!

(Chorus)
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where?

(Verse)
Oh, 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?

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
Now you're tripping back
But babe, babe, it's too late!

(Chorus)
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where?
