(Don’t Leave Me) High and Dry

If you want to talk, take a minute of my time
If you want a walk, put your hand in mine
But if you want to leave
If that’s what you believe
Don’t leave me high and dry
Don’t leave me high and dry

If you want a chance, I’m your man
If you want to dance, I’ll do the best I can
But if you want to leave
If that’s what you believe
Don’t leave me high and dry
Don’t leave me high and dry

Somebody gave you my number
Somebody said I was the right one to call
Why did they do that, I wonder?
Don’t they know nothing
Nothing at all

If you want to start, the time is right
If you want my heart, be mine tonight
But if you want to leave
If that’s what you believe
Don’t leave me high and dry

Somebody said I was a loser
Somebody said I was no good any more
So I should forget, and excuse her
But what in the world
Would I do that for

If you want my youth, I left it far behind
If you want the truth, it’s not hard to find
But if you want to leave
If that’s what you believe
Don’t leave me high and dry
