MUZIC SOCIETY

Lyrics

**Verse 1**
Where were you when I needed you, baby?
Back when the lights were low and the rent was due
I stood beside you through every storm and rain
Now your pockets got bigger, but your heart ain't the same

Used to call me every morning just to hear my voice
Now you're too busy living life and making different choices
You act like success erased everything we been through
But I remember every sacrifice I made for you

**Pre-Chorus**
I was there when the world turned its back on you
When your dreams were broken and your hope wasn't true
Now you walk around like you don't know my name
Funny how a little money can make a man change

**Chorus**
Where were you when I needed you?
Now you're acting brand new
You think you done came up, don't know me anymore
But money can't buy what we had before

Baby, love is worth more than gold
A warm heart beats a pocket full of cold
You'll remember me when the shine gets dim
A fool and his money soon part in the end

**Verse 2**
I didn't love your wallet, I loved your soul
I saw the king inside you when you didn't know
I believed in your vision when nobody cared
Now you're living good, but forgetting who was there

Designer clothes and fancy cars
Won't heal a lonely heart full of scars
The same woman you leave behind today
Will be the one your memories call someday

**Pre-Chorus**
You traded real love for temporary fame
But life has a way of evening the game
The people who clap for you now might disappear
But I was the one standing faithful right here

**Chorus**
Where were you when I needed you?
Now you're acting brand new
You think you done came up, don't know me anymore
But money can't buy what we had before

Baby, love is worth more than gold
A warm heart beats a pocket full of cold
You'll remember me when the shine gets dim
A fool and his money soon part in the end

**Bridge**
One day the spotlight fades away
And those fast friends don't stay
When the champagne stops flowing and the crowd gets thin
You'll think about the woman who believed back then

I gave you my heart when you had nothing at all
Now success got you feeling ten feet tall
But baby, don't forget where you came from
Without real love, everybody ends up alone

**Outro**
You'll remember me...
Not because I cried, not because I begged you to stay
You'll remember me because my love was real
And real love don't fade away

Money comes and money goes
But true love is something money will never own
Where were you when I needed you?
I was right here... loving you.
