The bell rang 'bout a quarter after three You weren't there to come and see about me Said I wanna know Where were you? Searched high and low and all that's in between For a reason you'd come and see about me Said I wanna know Where were you? Yeah, baby I got the saddest phone call in my life Sister told me another brother done died I got one question for you, baby Where were you? Hey I was so lonеly, baby (I was so lonely, baby) I was so lonely (I was so lonely) I was so lonеly Lonely in my grief I remember when you left me all alone You thought I'd get weak baby, but I got strong Said I really wanna know Where were you? I don't hate your skin, but you hate mine I hate your silence, but you love mine I got one question for you baby Where were you? I was so lonely, baby (I was so lonely, baby) I was so lonely (I was so lonely) I was sitting there in my living room, yes, I was Trying to figure out what to do with you I was alone in the dark Trying, trying, trying to mend a broken heart So lonely Lonely in my grief
