[Intro]
Oh
Yeah

[Verse One]
Where were you
When I wanted you to love me through the night?
Where were you
When I wanted you to love and hold me tight?
Where were you, little darling
When you said to pick you up after school?
I know where, little lady
Because my mama didn't raise no fool

[Chorus]
Yeah, oh
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

[Verse Two]
I know where, baby
You been running around loose on the side
Cause I know where, little lady
You been running around with something to hide
I don't mind, darling, if you're feeling fancy and free, yeah
I don't mind, little baby
Because your sister's looking real good to me

[Chorus]
Yeah, hey, hey
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

[Interlude]

[Verse Three]
I won't know what the hell was going on
Someday you're gonna break
So don't try to get yourself straight
You're just a little too late

[Chorus]
Where were you?
Where were you? (Oh)
Where were you? (Oh)
Where were you? (Hey!)

[Outro]
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
