Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I tried to call you
Come by to see you too
But I could never get you on the phone
When I come by, you were never at home
[Verse 2]
Where were you when I needed you most?
Didn't know what to do
When I needed you most
Oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
Oh, baby
You say you love me
It seems to me I've heard those words a-before
There's an old sayin' that action speaks louder than words
[Verse 4]
Where were you when I needed you most?
Didn't know what to do
When I needed you most
Oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
Baby
Oh, oh, ooh-oh
Don't you want me?
Oh, oh, ooh-oh
Then show me you love me
