Stranded Lyrics by Rough Trade

1977

[Verse 1]
Cupid's beauty beats upon you
I was your Venus wrapped in furs
We acted a game of passion that left me suspended
I was the victim
But you escaped unhurt

[Chorus]
How could you leave me completely stranded
How could you leave me holding my breath
How could you be so heavy-handed
Oh sugar
I'm scared to death

[Verse 2]
Love's duty weighs upon you
I was naive in my frenzied state
We suffered a burning attraction that drained our senses
I was the victim
But you еscaped unhurt

[Chorus]
How could you leave mе completely stranded
How could you leave me holding my breath
How could you be so heavy-handed
Oh sugar
I'm scared to death

[Verse 3]
Cupid's beauty beats upon you
I was your Venus wrapped in furs
We acted a game of passion that left me suspended
I was the victim
But you escaped unhurt
Oh no

[Refrain]
I'm stranded
I'm up here off the ground
Come on and ease me down
Say sugar you know that
I'm stranded
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus]
How could you leave me completely stranded
How could you leave me holding my breath
How could you be so heavy-handed
Oh sugar
I'm scared to death

(Refrain)
I'm stranded
I'm up here off the ground
Come on and ease me down
Say sugar you know that
I'm stranded
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

But listen!

(Refrain)
I'm stranded
I'm up here off the ground
Come on and ease me down
Say
I'm stranded
