The Pointer Sisters — Where Have You Been?

[Verse 1] Where have you been? What are you looking for? Tell me, old friend When you turn out the light Close your eyes for the night Does your mind go astray? Are you running away from yourself? Don't be afraid to ask for help We shared so much together Our dreams went on forever Living like the day would never end Then came the stormy weather Our lives were torn and shattered We wеre forced to stop and start again [Pre-Chorus] It's nevеr easy to face the fact That you have made a mistake and yet Isn't it time that you found The purpose of living that brings peace of mind? [Chorus] And where have you been? (Where have you been? You've been away so long) And what are you looking for? (What are you looking for way out there on your own?) Tell me, old friend: (Where have you been? You've been away so long) When you turn out the lights Close your eyes for the night Does your mind go astray? Are you running away from yourself? Don't be afraid to ask for help [Verse 2] If we were merely strangers Oblivious to dangers That living in the shadows can lead you to I wouldn't speak so freely But in your eyes, I see me The lesson that life has taught me I give to you What you give out will come back to you Isn't it time that you faced the truth? Stop holding so much inside Admit to yourself that you're not satisfied [Chorus] And where have you been? (Where have you been? You've been away so long) What are you looking for? (What are you looking for way out there on your own?) Tell me, old friend: (Where have you been? You've been away so long) When you turn off the lights Close your eyes for the night Does your mind go astray? Are you running away from yourself? Don't be afraid to ask for help [Bridge] (Where have you been? You've been away so long) I'll be right there, I'll see you over When you're not strong, I'll be your shoulder [Chorus] Where have you been? (Where have you been? You've been away so long) What are you looking for? (What are you looking for way out there on your own?) Tell me, old friend: (Where have you been? You've been away so long) When you turn out the lights Close your eyes for the night Does your mind go astray? Are you running away from yourself? Don't be afraid [Outro] When I was cold When I was tired I didn't know if anybody cared But you see, I had to turn around and look at myself Nobody else understood me (When you turn out the lights) But I made it through (Close your eyes for the night) And you can too (Does your mind go astray?) (Are you running away from yourself?) Running, running, running, running, running away I've been missing you, old friend (Where have you been? You've been away so long) I've been missing you, old friend Yeah, been missing you, baby I've been missing you, old friend I've been missing you I've been missing you, old friend I've been missing you, old friend You don't have to worry (Where have you been? You've been away so long) I've been missing you, old friend You don't have to cry no more, ah nah, baby I've been missing you, old friend Nah, baby It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-hoo I've been missing you, old friend (Where have you been? You've been away so long) I've been missing you
