You came back in my life today
Like we'd been friends forever
So many times I'd hoped to hear you say
Let's give it one more try
So you think you've had a change of heart
But, baby, mine's been broken
All this time that we've been apart
And now I ask myself why
Why, why now?
Maybe we can be friends
But I'm not ready
To be your lover again
Where were you
When I needed you most?
Where were you
When I wanted to be close to you?
Tell me, I need to know
Where were you?
You'd be so easy to run to
But I'm afraid of gettin' caught up
(Caught up, caught up)
Caught up in a circle with you
Now tell me, what am I to do?
Should I fall on my knees
Or follow my heart?
Are you beggin' me please
After all you've put me through?
You've put me through
Hey, hey, now
Maybe we can be friends
But I'm not ready
To be your lover again
Where were you
When I needed you most?
Where were you
When I wanted to be close to you?
Tell me, I need to know
Where were you?
Still I dream someday we'll be together
And all our wishes come true
Me and you, lovers forever
But I can't keep runnin'
'Round and 'round and 'round, you know
I can't keep waitin'
I can't keep on wonderin' where
Where were you?
I will not expect
Only accept
For with expectation, there's delusion
But with acceptance, there is understanding
Where were you?
Where were you
When I needed you most?
Where were you
When I wanted to get close to you?
Tell me, I need to know
Where were you?
Hey, yeah
Where were you
When I needed you most?
Where were you
When I wanted to get close to you?
Tell me, I need to know
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you
When I needed you most?
Where were you
Oh, I wanted to get close to you?
No, no, I need to know
Where were you?
I need to know
I need to know
Where were you
When I needed you most?
Where were you
When I wanted to get close to you?
Oh, I need to know
I need to know
