Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Let me down gently
That's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That’s what I really need
Tel me that I’m someone good
So we’re not so far apart, apart
I hope it doesn't seem like I’m young
Foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You're not my life but I want you in it
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Set me up slowly
That’s what you do to me
Oh you set me up slowly
Now I can’t come down, down
Let you down gently
That's what I think you need
But when I let you down you're empty
And you try to hide your frowns, frowns
I hope it doesn't seem like I’m young
Foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You're not my life but I want you in it
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
And I hope it's sinking in
Left behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know that there’s a place for me
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Let me down gently
That's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That’s what I really need
Tell me that I’m someone good
So we’re not so far apart, apart
(I want you to let me down)
Ah, ah
(I want you to let me down)
Ah, ah
I hope it doesn't seem like I’m young
And foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You're not my life but I want you in it
And I hope it's sinking in
Left behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know there’s a place for me
