Lyrics: Where Were You
Album: Bitterblue
Artist: Bonnie Tyler

Oh baby – i was always around
To pick you up when you were falling down
Now baby – when you were crying the blues
Wasn’t i the one that you came crying to?
In all the years gone by
You’ve never seen me cry
I never let you see the other side of me

Chorus:
Where were you
When i needed somebody to lean on?
Yeah where were you
When i needed a shoulder to cry on?
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess i was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you’d be there for me
Where were you?

Oh baby – when you needed a friend
I stuck beside you girl through thick and thin
Now baby – when no-one cared at all
Wasn’t i the one that you would always call
I gave away my heart, i knew just where i stood
Till i reached out for you ’cause i thought i could

(chorus)

Now even more than what i’m going through
The cut that hurts the most is your attitude
You’re pretty good at taking what you need
You’ve got a lot to learn about loyalty…

Believe me baby…there were times
You drove me crazy…i was so blind
Where were you?

I never let you down when you were full of fear
Saved you from drowning in a sea of tears
Why baby why then weren’t you ever
There for me?

(chorus)
