Where Were You When I Needed You Lyrics By The Grass Roots

    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 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

    oh you’re lookin’ good it’s hard to fight it
    but no use explainin’ i’ve already decided
    that livin’ with you
    is worse than without ya
    i won’t spend a lifetime aworryin’ about ya
    oh things got rough and you disappeared
    now i’m back on my feet
    but look look who’s standin’ there

    where were you when i needed ya
    where were you when i wanted ya
    where were you when i needed ya
    where

    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
    oh things got rough and you wouldn’t wait
    now you’re trippin’ 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

    where were you when i needed ya
    where were you when i wanted ya
    where were you when i needed ya
