(Collen) 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
