Where Were You
Where were you two years ago
When I was locked out there at the barn
When some certain Athens sacred monster
Was doing me in the charm
We could've been chatting heart to heart
On that front porch with a view
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where were you two weeks ago
A week again after your promise
I was in your place of employment
Crying in my hummus
Somebody in there said, "Boy you're lookin' bad"
And I said, "You know that is nothin' new"
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Were you in that second story well-lighted place
Up against its occupant artist in his personal space
I know that has been known to happen
But I thought all of that was through
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where were you last Monday
When I was overwrought
I was watching the bright bug lamp flicker
You were doing up the dim, dim 40 Watt
I was alone with Pepe Lopez
I just couldn't do the schmooze
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where are you this Sunday
I'm in shaky health
I am in the back yard leaking
On the spot where you proclaimed yourself
You are hungry, wanting breakfast
And my heart is in a stew
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
When I was locked out there at the barn
When some certain Athens sacred monster
Was doing me in the charm
We could've been chatting heart to heart
On that front porch with a view
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where were you two weeks ago
A week again after your promise
I was in your place of employment
Crying in my hummus
Somebody in there said, "Boy you're lookin' bad"
And I said, "You know that is nothin' new"
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Were you in that second story well-lighted place
Up against its occupant artist in his personal space
I know that has been known to happen
But I thought all of that was through
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where were you last Monday
When I was overwrought
I was watching the bright bug lamp flicker
You were doing up the dim, dim 40 Watt
I was alone with Pepe Lopez
I just couldn't do the schmooze
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where are you this Sunday
I'm in shaky health
I am in the back yard leaking
On the spot where you proclaimed yourself
You are hungry, wanting breakfast
And my heart is in a stew
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
Where were you, girl, when I needed you?
