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
