| 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 b_tterscotch 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 |
