Where Were You Original Artists: Hootie & the Blowfish Where were you When I needed a friend Where were you When I kissed my very first girl Haven't seen you for 15 years Now you walk into my life And I wonder if the world is laughing at me Didn't need you when I played young games I can't see why I'd want you now So, go away Mama didn't want you So I don't need you Go away Just walk away like you did before But I'll stand up and be OK I remember hanging out with my friends Sitting around lying about who my daddy is Soon as I see you for what you are So I hold on to my dreams, cause Without you I might get a little farther, now Now I hold you in a bigger light Yeah she told me someday I'll be all right So, go away I didn't need your smile then I don't want to see you right now my friend Go away My sister cried and grabbed my hand and said, "D we'll be OK" I'd see you walk the street With the other boy and I'd scream "What about me" It's all about him I'm sorry to say I wish it didn't have to be this way I wouldn't give anything to be with you back then And I turned out okay Rose made me a much better man So, go away Momma didn't want you So my brother don't need you Go away And don't try to play your games with me I have to go can't you see Go away, I said I don't want you And my sister don't need you
