Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me down gently, that's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently, it still feels hard, hard
Turn me into someone good, that's what I really need
Tell me that I'm someone good so we're not so far apart, apart
[Verse 2]
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute, you're not my life but I want you in it
[Verse 3]
Set me up slowly, that's what you do to me
Oh, you set me up slowly, now I can't come down, down
Let you down gently, that's what I think you need
But when I let you down, you're empty
And you try to hide your frowns, frowns
[Verse 4]
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute, you're not my life but I want you in it
And I hope it's sinking in, that behind your perfect skin
There's a part of you that's free and I know that there's a place for me
[Verse 5]
Let me down gently, that's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently, it still feels hard, hard
Turn me into someone good, that's what I really need
And tell me that I'm someone good so we're not so far apart, apart
[Verse 6]
(Let me down, let me down)
(Let me down, let me down)
(Oh, won't you please let me down?)
(Oh, won't you please let me down?)
[Verse 7]
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute, you're not my life but I want you in it
And I hope it's sinking in, that behind your perfect skin
There's a part of you that's free and I know that there's a place for me
[Verse 8]
How do you feel? In the night?
Now the feeling's left behind
As you know, there was a time
When your silence left me blind
Now you're callin' from the aisle
I can see, it's denial
A denial left to slide
Now there's nothing left to hide
