Where Were You When I Needed You lyrics

Where Were You When I Needed You
The Grass Roots
(P.F. Sloan/Steve
Barri)

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 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' round
Where were you
when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I
needed you
Where..ere...ere
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 a-worryin' about you
Oh,
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 you
Where were you
when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where..ere...ere
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
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't
wait
Now you're tripping 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..ere...ere
