WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU?
(Marvin Moore / Bernie Wayne)


Jimmy Dean - 1965
Lacy J. Dalton - 1981





Where were you when I needed you
When I wanted you, when I cried for you
I gave up all my pride for you
I'd have died for you, but I don't need you now

At last you're here to say you're sorry
For all the ways you did me wrong
I used to pray you'd say you're sorry
But now you waited too long

Where were you when I needed you
When I wanted you, when I cried for you
I gave up all my pride for you
I'd have died for you, but I don't need you now

I guess you thought I'd still be lonely
And waitin' patiently for you
I used to pray you'd say you're lonely
I found a love that's true

Where were you when I needed you
When I wanted you, when I cried for you
I gave up all my pride for you
I'd have died for you, but I don't need you now
I'd have died for you, but I don't need you now
