Dolly Dots were a popular Dutch girl band in the 1980s. With their style of upbeat dance/pop, they scored many hits throughout Europe. The sextet consisted of Angela Groothuizen, Angéla Kramers, Anita Heilker, Esther Oosterbeek, Patty Zomer and Ria Brieffies.
The Dolly Dots had many hits between 1979 and 1988. They were most successful in the Netherlands, but they also scored hits in the rest of Europe. Their single "Radio" was a big hit in Japan. "P.S." was a Top 50 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play hit in 1981. They also enjoyed hits in Turkey, Lebanon, Iceland, and toured through Egypt.
At the peak of their success in 1984 the Dolly Dots had their own TV series, Barbie dolls, wallpaper, and a #1 hit, "Love Me Just a Little Bit More (Totally Hooked On You)". At the end of the next year, Anita Heilker left the group to have a daughter. She later became the Dutch voice of Donald Duck. The rest of the band continued as a five-piece.
Heilker had already launched her own career. In 1986 she released four solo singles ("You've Got Me Keyed Up", "Into The Night", "Dancing On The Moon" and "Don't Treat Me Like This"), as well as a solo album (The Girl In Black).
When we had our little love affair
Can still recall the day
Where are you now, what is left of our love
You can't let it vanish this way
Where were you that day
Where were you
When I needed you
Don't be a pretender, why won't you surrender
You know you get the best out of me
Where were you
When I needed you
Forget all the sad lines, think of the good times
I know that we can make it somehow
So where are you now...
What is left of all the things you said
Of all the love and care you've showed me
Here I am and I'm just feeling bad
'Cause I don't know where I'm going
Don't walk out on me this way
It's so easy so tell me where were you that day
Where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
Just try to remember, I'm not an amender
I want you just the way that you are
So where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
Just give me a break
That's all that it takes
Try it 'cause I know you know how
But where are you now...
What's the use of staying - home alone
If I don't know if you're coming
Still I know we'd have a better time
If you would try instead of running
We can take down the wall we made
So come on let's not waist on more day
Where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
Oh - forget all the sad lines, think of the good times
I know that we can make it somehow
So where are you now...
(Solo)
Where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
Don't be a pretender, won't you surrender
You know you get the best out of me
Where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
So forget all the sad lines, think of the good times
I know that we can make it somehow
Where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
Just try to remember, I'm not an amender
I want you just the way that you are
So where were you
(Where were you when I needed you)
When I needed you (oehoehoe)
Just give me a break
That's all that it takes
Try it 'cause I know you know how
But where are you now...
