Where Were You Lyrics

Brenda Holloway Where Were You

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Darling, where were you when my love was strong?
Where were you? Why did you wait 'til my love was gone

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Darling, where were you when my love was strong?
Where were you? Why did you wait 'til my love was gone

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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?
