Where were you

Where were you when I needed somebody to lean on
Where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you’d be there for me

Oh baby, I was always around
To pick you up when you were falling down
Now baby, when you were crying the blues
Wasn’t I the one that you came crying to
In all the years gone by you’ve never seen me cry
I never let you see the other side of me

Where were you when I needed somebody to lean on
Oh baby, where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you’d be there for me
Exactly where were you

Oh baby, when you needed a friend
I stuck beside you then through thick and thin
Now, now baby, when no-one cared at all
Wasn’t I the one that you would always call
I gave away my heart, I knew just where I stood
Til I reached out for you because I thought I could

Where were you when I needed somebody to lean on
Oh baby, where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you’d be there for me

Now even more that what I’m going through
The cut that hurts the most is your attitude
You’re pretty good at taking what you need
You’ve got a lot to learn about loyalty

Believe me baby, there were times
You drove me crazy, I was so blind
Where were you

Oh, I never let you down when you were full of fear
Saved you from drowning in a sea of tears
Why baby, why then weren’t you ever there for me

Oh baby, where were you when I needed somebody to lean on
Oh baby, where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you’d be there for me

Oh, where were you when I needed somebody to lean on
Oh, where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
