Let Her Down Easy Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

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
