Break It To Me Gently
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was so easy, baby
You made it so easy, yeah
You knew exactly
What to say and do
Had all the answers
Knew how to please me
How'd you guess I'd
Fall in love with you
Now I'm scared
Wooh, I'm scared
What we're coming to
Oh, break it to me gently
Be careful of what you say
And save it, save it, save it
Save it, save it, save it
Save it for tomorrow
Maybe then you'll stay
One more day
Hey, yeah
It was so easy, baby
You made it so, so easy
Yes, you did
I'm weak now, darling
Need your tenderness
I gave you my loving
Oh, baby, and all
My sweet music
Why'd you give me
What you knew I would need
Are you sure, really, really sure
It has to end like this
If you don't love me
If you don't need me
Break it to me gently
Oh, break it to me gently
Be careful of what you say
And save it, save it for tomorrow
Baby, baby, you stay
You stay
Oh, one more day
I need, I need you
I need you, baby
I need you, baby
One more hour
Oh, yeah
I need you
Oh, I need you
Ooh, baby, now
Now, now, now
One more day
