This is a "moody blues" number from the CD: Flavors of the Blues (Pointblank / Virgin America, 1996). It was written by Anthony Cook, Ollan Christopher, and Zakiya.
How many times have I asked myself why All the good things in life seem to pass me by Trouble and pain is my claim to fame No matter what I do, I can't find a love that's true Gave you all I had, then I gave you even more But all you ever did, was make me blue Where were you, when I needed you, oh oh baby Where were you, to protect me from the blues? My days grow long without him I don't think my lonely heart will ever mend Go through my days feelin' tired and blue All I have left are memories of you There's danger in this heart of mine I think I see a real real bad time Where were you, when I needed you, oh oh baby Where were you, to protect me from the blues? I gave you all I had, then I gave you even more But all you ever did boy, was make me blue Where were you, when I needed you, oh baby Where were you, to protect me from the blues? Ah baby, ah save me from the blues Ah baby help me, ah protect me from the blues
