Let Me Down Gently Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Set me up 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

[Chorus]
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
That behind your perfect skin
There's a part of you that's free
And I know that there's a place for me

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
(Let me down, let me down)
(Let me down, let me down)
(oh won't you please let me down)
(oh won't you please let me down)

[Chorus]
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
That behind your perfect skin
There's a part of you that's free
And I know that there's a place for me

[Outro]
How do you feel in the night
Now the feeling's left behind
As you know there was a time
When your silence left me blind
Now you're callin' from the aisle
I can see, it's denial
A denial left to slide
Now there's nothing left to hide
