[Verse 1]

See, it's a damn shame

You got caught up in the game

So much to offer

But so little to give, yeah yeah

Now you're runnin' around

Tryna to get down

With every trick in town

Tell me why you had me waitin' by the phone, all alone

[Chorus]

Oh, I need a man that wants all of me

'Cause I need to give someone all of me

I don't wanna have to ask

Where were you when I needed you?

Oh, I need a man that wants all of me

'Cause I need to give someone all of me (All of me)

I don't wanna have to ask

Where were you when I needed you?

[Verse 2]

Now I've tried and tried

To make you realize

That here's where you wanna be

But you didn't wanna listen to me

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now I got somebody new

Who does all the things that you didn't do

Could've been you

Baby, baby

Could've been you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Oh, I need a man that wants all of me (All of me)

'Cause I need to give someone all of me (Oh)

I don't wanna have to ask

Where were you when I needed you?

I need a man that wants all of me (Oh-oh-oh)

'Cause I need to give someone all of me (Whoa)

I don't wanna have to ask (I don't wanna have to ask, yeah)

Where were you when I needed you?

[Bridge]

I need someone to take the pain away

Change the rain and the cloudy days

I hoped and prayed that person would be you

But, baby, when it's all said and done

I'm gonna be the only one to take care of me

So look out for Blu

[Chorus]

Oh, I need a man that wants all of me

'Cause I need to give someone all of me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I don't wanna have to ask (I don't wanna have to ask, yeah, yeah)

Where were you when I needed you?

I need a man who wants all of me (All of me)

'Cause I need to give someone all of me (Whoa, whoa)

I don't wanna have to ask (Oh, whoa, whoa)

Where were you when I needed you?

I need a man that wants all of me (Give me all the love you, yeah)

'Cause I need to give someone all of me

I don't wanna have to ask (Oh-oh-oh)

Where were you when I needed you? (When I needed you)

I need a man who wants all of me

'Cause I need to give someone all of me

I don't wanna have to ask (Baby)

Where were you when I needed you? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
