About Stranded

"Stranded" is a song recorded by American rock band Heart. It was released as the third single from the band's tenth studio album Brigade. It is a mid-tempo power ballad that features Heart's rhythm guitarist Nancy Wilson picking up lead vocals instead of the usual lead singer, her sister Ann. Nancy also performed lead vocals on two previous Heart hits: "There's The Girl" and "These Dreams". The track climbed to number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. It went to number one in Canada according to The Record and number two according to RPM. The 12" and CD single formats feature the non-LP track "I'll Never Stop Loving You", while in the United Kingdom there were two limited editions of the 12" single: the first came in a gatefold sleeve while the second was issued as a 12" picture disc.

Standing here helpless
Where do I go
If you leave me alone
Where do I turn now
If it don't work out
As for as I can see
This isn't the way
That you said it would be

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
If you walk away now
You leave me empty handed
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me

Wasn't it you
Who brought me here
To the place lovers go
Just look at these arms
Reaching out to you
You said that you'd always care
I just turned around
And there's nobody there

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
If you walk away now
You leave me empty handed
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me

You said that you'd always care
I just turned around and there's
Nobody there

Don't leave me like
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
If you walk away now
You leave me empty handed
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Stranded
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me like this
