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
