Lyrics

Where Were You

[Intro] Oh Yeah [Verse 1] 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 darling When you said to pick you up after school? I know where, little lady Because my mama didn't raise no fool [Chorus] Yeah, oh Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? [Verse 2] I know where, baby You been running around loose on the side Cause I know where, little lady You been running around with something to hide I don't mind, darling, if you're feeling fancy and free, yeah I don't mind, little baby Because your sister's looking real good to me [Chorus] Yeah, hey, hey Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? [Interlude] [Verse 3] I won't know what the hell was going on Someday you're gonna break So don't try to get yourself straight You're just a little too late [Chorus] Where were you? Where were you? (Oh) Where were you? (Oh) Where were you? (Hey!) [Outro] Where were you? Where were you? Where were you? Where were you?
