High and dry, well, I'm up here with no warning
High and dry, well, I couldn't get a word in

High and dry, oh what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

A minute I was up there standing by her side
The next I was down there, well, left out of the ride

High and dry, oh what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

Anything I wished for I only had to ask her - yes
I think she found out it was money I was after

High and dry, oh what a weird letdown
She left me standing here just high and dry

All right

Well, it's lucky that I didn't have any love towards her
Next time I'll make sure that the girl will be much poorer

High and dry, oh what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

High and dry, well, I'm up here with no warning - yes

High and dry, well, I couldn't get a word in

High and dry, oh what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry
Well she left me standing here just high and dry
Well she left me standing here just high and dry
