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 wordly 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 own 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 dime
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
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
