Let Me Down Gently

La Roux

Let me down gently
That′s what I think I need
But when you let me down gentlyIt still feels it 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 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

Set me up I'm slowly
That′s what you do to me
Oh you set me up slowly
Now I can't come down, down
Let me down gently
That′s what I think you need
But when I let you down gently
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
Left behind your perfect skin

There′s a part of you that′s free
And I know 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 it 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 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
Left behind your perfect skin
There′s a part of you that's free
And I know there′s a place for me
