Where Have You Been All My Life (Live at the Star-Club in Hamburg)
Authors: Cynthia Weil, Barry Mann; Lead vocal: John Lennon

Since we kissed
I never knew the thrills that could be tasted.
Since we kissed
I never knew the years that I had wasted.
But now I know that I was waiting for you to come by,
I was waiting, girl, won't you please tell me why
This took so long to begin?
Now, where have you been all my life?

Oh, where've you been, where've you been?

Oh, don't you know that I was waiting?

Don't you know that I was waiting for you to come by,
I was waiting girl, won't you please tell me why
This look so long to begin?
Girl, where have you been all my life?

Oh, where've you been, where've you been?
Where've you been when I was feeling blue?
Where have you been, where have you been
When I was needing you?
Where've you been, where've you been, where've you been?
Oh, now where have you been, where have you been all my life?
