Standing here helpless
Where do I go
If you leave me alone?
Where do I turn now
If it don't work out?

As far as I can see
This isn't the way
That you said it would be

Chorus:
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

Said that you'd always care
I just turn around
And there's nobody there

Chorus (1x)

Don't leave me now

You said that you'd always care
I just turn around
And there's nobody there

Don't leave me like --

Chorus (1x)

Stranded

Chorus (1x)

Stranded

Don't leave me like this
No, don't leave me

Heart

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
