Where Were You When I Needed You (1966 Version)

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?

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 a-worryin' 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?
