Let me down slow and easy
Cause there ain't nothin' I can do
I hope and pray my faith won't leave me

When it comes down to me and you

Try a little tenderness

I die a little
For a long lost sweet caress


You lyin' next to me
Fulfilled some destiny
I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go

I don't want you to know
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh


Overflow of emotion
And a hurt that'll never heal

If you close the door forever
The fate of pain is sealed


Try a little tenderness
I die a little
For a long lost sweet caress


[Repeat Bridge]


[Repeat Chorus]

I more than long for your affection

I tell you know that ain't so
Not even gentle persuasion
Is ever gonna let me go

Won't you let me breathe

[Repeat Bridge]


[Repeat Chorus]
