She left her clothes in Kansas
Ever since she left her classes
So she could fill some glasses
She want a photograph
8 by 11 dreams
She’s got that self-worth
She learned at 17
And I could work with that
Been working all week
She’s been flirtin’ all night
Wishing she could own me
But I come with a lot of baggage
And a lot of ego, and a lot of fashion
Just give me that college magic
And I could probably make tonight pop
And she said:
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
She left her cares on the bedpost
Next to the lipstick and the mentos
Savian and a candy necklace
She goes to places her friends won’t
She’s in the backyard
Of her sorority
I’m thinking backseat
She’s looking for the key
And I could work with that
Been working all month
She’s been flirting all night
Lady I’m the wrong one
She said:
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
(Tonight tonight)
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
(Tonight tonight)
She was like “who was that singing?”
I was off in the back room drinking
Savin something thinkin’ nothing
When I heard my phone start ringin’
But you know I can’t pick it up
‘Cause I’m not in love
And I just with nobody(s?) trust
She left her friends in high school
She’s thinking “why do I like you?
If I just make-do with a nice dude
I could make it to the white picket fence crew”
But it just won’t work like that
When I wake it’s on the road
You could take me in your room
But you can’t take me home
She said:
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
(Tonight tonight)
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
(Tonight tonight)
Oh
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
(Stay with me)
Let me down easy
Or stay with me tonight
(Tonight tonight)
