Let Me Down Gently

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

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

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

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

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

(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?)

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

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
