Staring up into the solar system,

All the stars are fixed up in the sky.

I just want to sparkle for a moment

Before I just fizzle out and die.



I'm happy because I'm stupid.

Scared of spiders, scared of flying.

If I wasn't so happy,

I wouldn't be so scared of dying.



So just be gentle with me

(I'm not as young as I was)

And I'll be gentle with you

I'm not as brave as I thought

'Cause my heart gets broken so easily.

So just be gentle, be gentle with me.



Wide awake, waiting like a target

Listening for things I cannot see.

Insects flutter up against my window.

I don't like the way they look at me



i guess I've always needed

To be needed by someone.

It's a comforting feeling

Being under someone's thumb.



So just be gentle with me

(And if I am ever mean)

And I'll be gentle with you

I never mean to be mean

'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree.

Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,

Be gentle with me.



So just be gentle with me

Trouble is sometimes

And I'll be gentle with you

I just can't switch myself off

When I want to so I never do

Because I'm mental, be gentle, be gentle,

Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle

And I'll be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,be gentle with you.
