Lyrics La Roux – Let Me Down Gently

Let me down gently
That’s what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard

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

And I hope it’s sinking in
That behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know that there’s a place for me

Let me down gently
That’s what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard

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
That behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know that there’s a place for me
