Let Her Down Easy

You're top man on 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 pearl.

Even though there's nothing I can say
To cheat you and 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
To cheat you and nature any way
Let her down easy, her heart is on a 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
And she still remembers you
The first boy that she gave it to
And she laughs at how little then she knew.

Even though there's nothing I can say
Let her down easy, her heart is on a line
Let her down easy and you'll grow up in time.
