You said you'd always love me
Told me that you'd be true
But when my money was spent
And I owed for the rent
Where were you?
I used to feed you lamb chops
Lived up on Park Avenue
But when we ran out of cash
And we had to eat hash
Where were you?
Whenever dark clouds gather
And nothing's going right
That's when I find
You're never out of my mind
You're always out of sight
We had a rich friend to dinner
He was good lookin' too
But when he went back to town
And I looked all around
Where were you?
Whenever I feel real lonesome
I miss your tender lips
I look all around
But where you oughta be found
I find a total eclipse
We walked up the aisle to the altar
But somehow you missed your cue
'Cause when the preacher said
"Pal, do you take this gal?"
Where were you?
In Indiana or Alabama
Carolina or maybe China
Baby, where were you?
