Where were you
When I wanted you to love me through the night?
Where were you
When I wanted you to love and hold me tight?
Where were you, little darlin'
When you said to pick you up after school?
I know where, little lady,
'cause my mama didn't raise no fool.
Yeah.
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
I know where, baby,
you been runnin' 'round loose on the side.
I know where, little lady,
you been runnin' 'round with something to hide.
I don't mind, darlin', if you're feelin' fancy and free.
I don't mind, little baby,
cause your sister's lookin' real good to me.
Hey,
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
I didn't know what the hell was goin' on,
Someday you're gonna break.
So don't try to get yourself straight,
You're just a little too late.
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
