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
Its just human 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

Its just human 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

Let her down easy

Her heart is on the line
Let her down easy
And you'll grow up in time
