"Let Me Down Slow" lyrics

Let Me Down Slow

You look a little dressed up
You're acting way too smart
Your face a little bit flushed
For a walk in the park

And you're clutching your phone
As you walk in the dark
And your smile's got a twist
You're looking so hardcore

If you've something to say
Don't be too direct
Cause I feel a little fragile
Don't hit the nail on the head

Why I said, baby, baby
Let me down real slow
Oh, no, no, no
Why I said, baby, baby
Let me down real slow
No, no, no, no

There's a swish in your step
There's a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair
With some new kind of dye?

But the first one to blink
Is the first one to fall
I don't want a confrontation
I've got my back to the wall

Oh, I said, baby, baby
Let me down real slow
Oh, no, no, no
Why I said, baby, baby
Let me down real slow
Oh, no, na, na, na, no

Oh, I said, baby, baby
Let me down real slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, I said, let me strech out
In the afterglow
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

Let me down real slow
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, baby, baby
