Let me down slow and easy

Cause there ain't nothin' I can do

I hope and pray my faith won't leave me

When it comes down to me and you



Try a little tenderness

I die a little

For a long lost sweet caress



You lyin' next to me

Fulfilled some destiny

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh



Just a little bit of letting go

I don't want you to know

I wanna cry

But I breathe a sigh



Overflow of emotion

And a hurt that'll never heal

If you close the door forever

The fate of pain is sealed



Try a little tenderness

I die a little

For a long lost sweet caress



[Repeat Bridge]



[Repeat Chorus]



I more than long for your affection

I tell you know that ain't so

Not even gentle persuasion

Is ever gonna let me go

Won't you let me breathe



[Repeat Bridge]



[Repeat Chorus]
