Ooh...ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo... When I called you at work today Steadily comin' home late Tell me what am I supposed to do If by chance I don't believe you Now I may not have been the best Tried so hard to communicate Couldn't you talk to me Now it's too late Where were you when I needed you Did you get yourself lost in another girl's arms Where were you when I needed you I'm afraid it's too late to let you back into my heart Oh-la-la-oh-la-oh Oh-la-la-oh-la-oh (Oh, my poor heart) Oh-la-la-oh-la-oh If you really had cared for me At least could have been discreet I would have given my life for you If you had given me the chance to I heard you sing somebody a love song I really thought I heard wrong When I needed tender love and care You were never there, never, never there Where were you when I needed you Did you get yourself lost in another girl's arms Where were you when I needed you I'm afraid it's too late to let you back into my heart, my heart, babe Life's too short, so baby, maybe we can be friends Don't let your anger cloud you But if we can't be together, we've got to talk to each other If nothin' else, think of the children, oh, of the children Where were you when I needed you, whoa...oh...oh... And hee.... Where were you when I needed you Did you get yourself lost in another girl's arms Where were you when I needed you I'm afraid it's too late (Yeah) to let you come back to me (Oh, yeah) Where were you when I needed you Did you get yourself lost in another girl's arms Where were you when I needed you I'm afraid it's too late to let you come back to my heart Where were you when I needed you What were you thinkin' of How could you be a fool for another love Where were you when I needed you
