I don't know why it should be
but lately I can plainly see
you're cool to me
do what you wanna do
but darling all I ask of you
put me down easy
(put me down easy)
put me down easy baby
(put me down easy baby)
-don't make it rougher
and don't make me suffer
-put me down easy
if you found somebody new
there is nothing I can do
but ask it to
try and do me just the same
as pilots do big aeroplanes
put me down easy
(put me down easy)
put me down easy baby
(put me down easy baby)
-don't make it rougher
and don't make me suffer
-put me down easy
yeah, put me down easy
(put me down easy)
put me down easy baby
(put me down easy baby)
-don't make it rougher darling
and don't make me suffer, jest
-put me down easy
wait another week or two
before you tell me we are through
but when you do
treat me as gentle as you would a million dollar glass
yeah, put me down easy
(put me down easy)
put me down easy baby
(put me down easy baby)
-don't you make it rougher
and don't make me suffer, jest
-put me down easy
