Just When I Needed You
Skeeter Davis · Live Wire (51-West) [1982]
(Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Clyde Baum)
Just when I needed you, you left and went away
You made my life so blue both night and day
You left me here behind, with a troubled worried mind
So broken hearted too just when I needed you.
I cried, I cried, I prayed, I tried
To forget you and never call your name
What a shame, what a shame you were the one who was to blame
You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you.
--- Instrumental ---
No matter where you wander, no matter where you go
There's a longing in my heart for only you
I love you just the same and I want you back again
Although you proved untrue just when I needed you.
I cried, I cried, I prayed, I tried
To forget you and never call your name
What a shame, what a shame you're the one who was to blame
You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you...
Just when I needed you, you left and went away
You made my life so blue both night and day
You left me here behind, with a troubled worried mind
So broken hearted too just when I needed you.
I cried, I cried, I prayed, I tried
To forget you and never call your name
What a shame, what a shame you were the one who was to blame
You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you.

I love you just the same and I want you back again
Although you proved untrue just when I needed you.
I cried, I cried, I prayed, I tried
To forget you and never call your name
What a shame, what a shame you're the one who was to blame
You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you...
