Ooh...ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...
When I called you at work today
Steadily cominà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â' home late
Tell me what am I supposed to do
If by chance I donà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't believe you
Now I may not have been the best
Tried so hard to communicate
Couldnà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't you talk to me
Now ità  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's too late
Where were you when I needed you
Did you get yourself lost in another girlà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's arms
Where were you when I needed you
Ià  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â'm afraid ità  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's too late to let you back into my heart
Oh-la-la-oh-la-oh
Oh-la-la-oh-la-oh (Oh, my poor heart)
Oh-la-la-oh-la-oh
If you really had cared for me
At least could have been discreet
I would have given my life for you
If you had given me the chance to
I heard you sing somebody a love song
I really thought I heard wrong
When I needed tender love and care
You were never there, never, never there
Where were you when I needed you
Did you get yourself lost in another girlà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's arms
Where were you when I needed you
Ià  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â'm afraid ità  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's too late to let you back into my heart, my heart, babe
Lifeà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's too short, so baby, maybe we can be friends
Donà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't let your anger cloud you
But if we canà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â't be together, weà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â've got to talk to each other
If nothinà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â' else, think of the children, oh, of the children
Where were you when I needed you, whoa...oh...oh...
And hee....
Where were you when I needed you
Did you get yourself lost in another girlà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's arms
Where were you when I needed you
Ià  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â'm afraid ità  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's too late (Yeah) to let you come back to me (Oh, yeah)
Where were you when I needed you
Did you get yourself lost in another girlà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's arms
Where were you when I needed you
Ià  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â'm afraid ità  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â's too late to let you come back to my heart
Where were you when I needed you
What were you thinkinà  à  à  à  à  à  à  à Â' of
How could you be a fool for another love
Where were you when I needed you
