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 it 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 I'm 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

Left 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

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 and 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

Left behind your perfect skin

There's a part of you that's free

And I know that there's a place for me
