let me down easy

she left her clothes in kansas

ever since we stepped on campus

ever since she left her classes

so she could fill some glasses

she want a photograph

8 by 11 dreams

she's got that self-worth

she learned at 17

and i could work with that

been working all week

she's been flirtin' all night

wishing she could own me

but i come with a lot of baggage

and a lot of ego

and a lot of fashion

just drop that 'prada' bag

and i could probably make tonight pop

and she said: let me down easy

but stay with me tonight

say you don't need me

but stay with me tonight

she left her cares on the bedpost

next to the lipstick and the mentos

savian and a candy necklace

she goes to places her friends won't

she's in the backyard

under a starry scene

i'm thinking backseat

she's looking for the keys

and i could work with that

been working all month

she's been flirting all night

lady

i'm the wrong one

and she said

let me down easy

but stay with me tonight

say you don't need me

but stay with me tonight

let me down easy

but stay with me tonight

tonight

say you don't need me

but stay with me tonight

she was like who was that singing?"
