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 then you've been
around the world
She is just
some worried
daddy's girl
Even though there's
nothing I can say
to cheating your
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 and please do not
lead her on when
On when
you leave town
Even though there's
nothing I can say
to cheating your
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 that she knew
Even though there's
nothing I can say
to cheating your
nature anyway
Let her down easy
her heart is on a dime
Let her down easy
and she will grow up
in time
Oooh
in time
