Where Are You Now?
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
Someone left me on the street
Life moving around me
I said that I could not be beat
I said I was lonely
On my own I could not stand
You said ainÂ’t you only
EverybodyÂ’s got it bad
Why talk about it
When you know youÂ’re gonna lie
Why talk about it
You canÂ’t even give me a reason why
Where are you now when I need you?
Where are you now when I need you?
Where are you now when I need you?
I said I was lonely
On my own I could not stand
You said ainÂ’t you only
EverybodyÂ’s got it bad (everybodyÂ’s got it bad)
LifeÂ’s moving around you
EverybodyÂ’s on the street
Those beggars that found you
TheyÂ’re the ones that say defeat, they do
Why talk about it
When you know youÂ’re gonna lie
Why talk about it
You canÂ’t even give me a reason why
Where are you now when I need you?
Where are you now when I need you?
Where are you now when I need you?
DonÂ’t talk, donÂ’t ever talk about it
DonÂ’t talk, donÂ’t ever talk about it
DonÂ’t talk, donÂ’t ever talk about it
Where are you now when I need you?
