About Where Were You

"Where Were You" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler for her eighth studio album Bitterblue (1991). It was released in 1992 by Hansa Records. As the third single from the album, it followed the success of "Bitterblue" and "Against the Wind". The song was written by Albert Hammond and Holly Knight, and produced by Roy Bittan.

Oh baby I was always around
To pick you up when you were falling down
Now baby when you were crying the blues
Wasn't I the one that you came crying to?
In all the years gone by
You've never seen me cry
I never let you see the other side of me

[Chorus]
Where were you
When I needed somebody to lean on?
Yeah where were you
When I needed a shoulder to cry on?
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you'd be there for me
Where were you?

Oh baby when you needed a friend
I stuck beside you girl through thick and thin
Now baby when no-one cared at all
Wasn't I the one that you would always call
I gave away my heart, I knew just where I stood
Till I reached out for you 'cause I thought I could

[Chorus]

Now even more than what I'm going through
The cut that hurts the most is your attitude
You're pretty good at taking what you need
You've got a lot to learn about loyalty

Believe me baby there were times
You drove me crazy I was so blind
Where were you?

I never let you down when you were full of fear
Saved you from drowning in a sea of tears
Why baby why then weren't you ever
There for me?

[Chorus]

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on 8 June 1951) is a Welsh singer. Her first hit single, "Lost In France", reached the UK Top 10 in 1976 and she was nominated for Best British Female Newcomer at the 1977 Brit Awards. Soon after, Tyler underwent an operation to remove nodules from her vocal cords which left her with a distinctively husky voice. However, this did not affect her career and her 1977 single "It's a Heartache" became a hit in both Europe and North America. more »
