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 that 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

Its just human nature any way

Let her down easy

Her heart is on a dime

Let her down easy

And you'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

And please do not lead her on when you leave town

Even though there's nothing I can say

Its just human nature any way

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

Her daughter's five and her grandfather adores her (of course)

Let her down easy

Her heart is on the line

Let her down easy

And you'll grow up in time
