High & Dry

[Verse 1]
I've been burned, lesson learned
Best to stay unconcerned in the early days
In the get-to-know-you phase
Keep it light, it's alright
If you wanna stay the night
But let's communicate
I gotta get this straight

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I got a tendency
To read between the lines
And make something out of nothing
But this boy, he got me buggin' (Mmm)
You do feel so good to me
And I wanna make you mine
But I'm reckless with my lovin'

[Chorus]
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna stick around?
I don't wanna let you in
If you're gonna let me down
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna make me cry?
I don't need another lover leaving me high and dry
No

[Verse 2]
Tatted up, stripped down
Your pillow talk's the sweetest sound
And the way we laugh
Got me thinking this could last
Yes I've been known to fall too hard too fast
But how can I stay unattached
When you're saying words like that? (Like that)

[Chorus]
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna stick around?
I don't wanna let you in
If you're gonna let me down
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna make me cry?
I don't need another lover leaving me high and dry
No

[Bridge]
Once bitten, twice shy
Don't leave me high and dry
Don't leave me hanging on
Wondering what the hell I ever did wrong
One too, many times
I've put my heart out on that line
I'm just dying to know where your heart's at 'cause you have mine

[Chorus]
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna stick around?
I don't wanna let you in
If you're gonna let me down (Are you gonna let me down?)
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna make me cry? (Are you gonna make me cry?)
I don't need another lover leaving me high and dry
No
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna stick around?
I don't wanna let you in
If you're gonna let me down (Are you gonna let me down, baby)
So baby tell me now
Are you gonna make me cry? (Are you gonna make me cry?)
I don't need another lover leaving me high and dry
No
