Lyrics
I called you on the phone last night
And baby, you were not there
I tried your doorbell umpteen times
Then walked away in despair
Then finally I sat me down
And wrote you quite a long note
And baby, baby, baby
Here’s the heart-broken note I wrote
Refrain
Where are you?
Now that I need you
Now that I want you
So badly I could cry
Where are you?
Where did fate lead you?
Funny how I dreamed
You’d still be standin’ by
I had you at my beck and call
I called you anytime at all
I guess I took too much for granted
I never thought I’d lie awake and sigh
Where are you?
Now that I need you
Now that I love you
So madly I could die
