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
