Where Were You - Brenda Holloway

Once I had a love so strong

I used to think we’d always be together

It must be I waited every day

To hear the things that I would never hear you say

Friends of mine would ask me out

But all my friends had someone of their own

No matter where I went, the loneliness was there

Without your love my needs were just too much to bear

Darling, where were you when my love was strong?

Where were you?

Why did you wait 'til my love was gone

I was so good, so good to you

You know I tried in every way to please you

Well everyone is someone’s fool and don’t you know

How much you hurt me everytime that you would go

Darling, where were you when my love was strong?

Where were you?

Why did you wait 'til my love was gone

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, yeah

Woah yeah

Yeah

So at last you broke my heart

And now you want what I don’t have to give you

There’s nothing left of all the love that used to be

'Cause you were never there to give it back to me

Darling, where were you when my love was strong?

Where were you?

Why did you wait 'til my love was gone

Where were you?

Oh, darling, where were you?

Oh

Where were you?

Yeah

Where were you?
