Where Were You When I Needed You

Where were you when I needed you
Where were you in the falling rain?
I looked around but you could not be found
You’ll never let me down again
You broke my heart when I needed it most
Things 'round here won’t be the same
I was on my knees, getting up by degrees
You’ll never let me down again
Only a fool could call you a friend
O, don’t pretend everything’s ok now
Don’t come up and say «Hello, how are you, it’s been a while!»
I don’t want to hear your voice buzzing in my ear
I can’t stand to see you smile
Where were you when others hung tough?
Where were you when I called your name?
You turned your face, you muddied my name all over the place
You’ll never let me down again
Only a fool would call you a friend
Where were you when I needed you?
Couldn’t you stand the pain?
You drank my good wine back in those fat times
You’ll never let me down again
Only a fool could call you a friend
I won’t be fooled again
