Where Was Your Love?

Where was your love? When I needed your love Where were your hugs? When I was soaked in my sobs Where was your love? When I needed your love Yours was never near Nor were your wandering ears As you were hardly ever there I will rather talk about this now than later A fire can be quenched by not only water People speak of no smoke without a fire I speak of hate born not just by greedy desire You haunt me, a ghost from the past to boast Where was your love when I needed your love? Where were you friend when I need you most? You gave me the shoulder along with the shove Where was your love? When I needed your love Where was your care? When I cried rainy tears With shattered dreams on broken wings Where was your love when I needed your love? When I lost the will to sing a simple octave What mattered to you were your lousy flings With a thin line between love and hate My dear old friend, my dear old mate Let me be clear and completely straight Love has disappeared at a very fast rate
