[Verse 1]
Seem like overnight, you switched up and I don't want you no more
Don’t understand how you can abandon a promise you made before
What happened to "Forever after"? (What happened to "I love you"?)
What happened to "I got you, baby"?
So invisible now
So long since the days you was holdin' me down

[Bridge]
I try
But I still cry, wonder why I can't get you out of my mind
These nights
Seem longer and colder since you ain’t here right by my side
Can't hide
What I feel 'cause you know I still wanna give us one more try
But I
Ain't been the same, I'm forever changed and I wanna know why?

[Chorus]
Where was you when I needed you?
Through hard times you never stayed by my side
Where was you when I needed you?
When I cried, I wiped the tears from my eyes
Where was you when I needed you?
To pick me up when I was down
You said you'd always be around
[Verse 2]
Used to look at me with
Afire in your eyes that I thought could not die
It's kind of hard to admit
That the day has come and you're not in my life
What happened to the love [?] to?
What happened to "I need you, baby"?
Now I’m stuck here like glue
Don’t know what to do
Where was you when I needed you?

[Bridge]
I try
But I still cry, wonder why I can't get you out of my mind
These nights
Seem longer and colder since you ain’t here right by my side
Can't hide
What I feel 'cause you know I still wanna give us one more try
But I
Ain't been the same, I’m forever changed and I wanna know why?

[Chorus]
Where was you when I needed you?
Through hard times you never stayed by my side
Where was you when I needed you?
When I cried, I wiped the tears from my eyes
Where was you when I needed you?
To pick me up when I was down
You said you'd always be around
Where was you when I needed you?
Through hard times you never stayed by my side
Where was you when I needed you?
When I cried, I wiped the tears from my eyes
Where was you when I needed you?
To pick me up when I was down
You said you'd always be around

[Outro]
Where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you
Baby, where was you?
Where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you
Baby, where was you?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you
Baby, where was you?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you, where was you
Baby, where was you?
