When we were beggin you
Just do what you can do
We were struggling for some way to pay

They had left us in pain
Left us out in the rain
But you could have found us a way

Oh darlin'
You knew how we were short
You were out last resort

Where we'd find credit
God only knows
Bcause you left me

Just when I needed you most
Because you left me
Just when I needed you the most

You said you made your bed
That's where you'll lay your head
There'll be no handout from me

But we were down on the floor
And they'd soon be at our door
Demanding their cash right away

Oh darlin'
We were feelin the heat
You had to be so discreet

Cos where we'd find credit
God only knows
Because you left me

Just when I needed you most
Because you left me
Just when I needed you most


But when you saw the news
Those long and desperate queues

Of Northern Rock savers that day
You knew you'd left it too late
Abandoned us to our fate

Now there was no other way
That's when you said you win
But you'll pay for your sin

We're in the lifeboat
We're headin your way
Because you left me

Just when I needed you most
Because you left me
Just when I needed you most


Then someone dished the dirt
They know how it would hurt

The cat was out of the bag
They would call it abuse
We had no more excuse

We'd have to come clean the next day
You blamed the EEC
But how it seems to me

That Robert Peston blew us away
Because you left me
Just when I needed you most

Because you left me
Just when I needed you most
