Let Her Down Easy

You're top man on the scene

You don't think life comes in between

But, hey, she's just seventeen

She feels like she's a worldly girl

But, man, you've been around the world

She is just some worried daddy's girl

Even though there's nothing I can say

To cheat you and nature anyway

Let her down easy

Her heart is on a dime

Let her down easy

And she'll grow up in time

In her strawberry eyes

The way she sees you signifies

That she's susceptible to your velvet lies

But if you must lay her down

May a butterscotch glow be her dressing gown

Please do not lead her on when, on when you leave town

Even though there's nothing I can say

To cheat you and nature anyway

Let her down easy

Her heart is on the line

Let her down easy

And you'll grow up in time

She's a woman now

With a daughter to make her proud

In her crayon world of paper clouds

She still remembers you

The first boy that she gave it to

And she laughs at how little then she knew

Even though there's nothing I can say

To cheat you and nature anyway

Let her down easy

Her heart is on a dime

Let her down easy

And she'll grow up

In time

Oh-oh, in time
