Let Her Down Easy

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
 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 on 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 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
 Her daughter's five and her grandfather adores her (of course)
 Let her down easy
 Her heart is on the line
 Let her down easy
 And you'll grow up in time
