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 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 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
