[Verse 1]

Where were you two years ago when I was locked out there at the barn?
When some certain Athens sacred monster was doing me in with charm?
We could've been chatting heart to heart on that front porch with a view

[Chorus]

Where were you girl when I needed you?

[Verse 2]

Where were you two weeks ago a week again after your promise?
I was in your place of employment crying in my hummus
Somebody in there said "boy you're looking bad,"
And I said "you know that is nothing new."

[Chorus]

Where were you girl when I needed you?

[Bridge]

Were you in that second story well lighted place
Up against its occupant artist in his personal space?
I know that has been known to happen but I though all of that was through
[Chorus]

Where were you girl when I needed you?

[Verse 3]

Where were you last Monday when I was overwrought?
I was watching the bright bug lamp flicker?
And you were doing up the dim dim 40 Watt

[Bridge]

I was alone with Pepe Lopez I just couldn't do the schmooze

[Chorus]

Where were you girl when I needed you?

[Verse 4]

Where are you this Sunday morning?
I'm in shaky health
I am in the back yard leaking on the spot where you proclaimed yourself
You are hungry wanting breakfast and my heart is in a stew
Where were you girl when I needed you?
