Where Were You When I Needed YouThe 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
