You said when the storm came That you would be there with your umbrella to block the rain And you said you'd protect me From heartache, pain, lies, loneliness, and misery You said you'd tear down the walls that were in my way You promised things would be okay And I stood there in the freezing cold And I waited for you, but you never showed Where you at? Oh, where you at? Oh, where you at? Boy you say would be here for me Where you at? (Where you at?) Where you at? (Where you at?) Where you at? (Where you at?) Now you said you go to church Stop slanging, find a real job, and go to work And you say you stay out of the streets And spend more time with me Take away my doubts and fears and fulfill my dreams You said you'd be that shoulder for my eyes to cry on Said you would be that one that I could depend on And I stood there in the freezing cold And I waited for you, but you never showed Where you at? (Where you at?) Where you at? (Where you at?) Where you at? Boy you say would be here for me Where you at? (Where) Where you at? (Where you at?) Where you at? (Where you at?) And oh false promises is much like fake named You painted a picture for me but there was no frame You made my future look bright and I believed every word I went to sleep on the clouds and woke up in the dirt And now I'm without shelter and the wind is blowing You say you'd be there for me boy when the tough got going Said if weapons draw, you'd stand in front of me Whenever I fell trapped, said you'd be the one to set me free Thought you were my hero But as it turns out you a no show Tell me where Where you at? (You at?) Where you at? (Where you at babe?) Where you at? Oh you said would be there for me Where you at? (Where you at?) Where you at? (Baby where you at?) Where you at? You said you'd be right there for me Where you at? (And I can't) Where you at? (See) Where you at? (See, see) Where you at? (See) Where you at? You'd said you'd be right there for me Where you at? (So, I'm waiting home) Where you at? (Right here) Where you at? (Until you appear and deliver) Deliver (Deliver) Deliver (Deliver) (Deliver) deliver oh boy Deliver Where you at? (Deliver) Where you at? (Deliver)
