So this is how you say goodbye
You said you'd always try
Our love you brushed aside
And now (now), the days are cold and gray
The feeling's gone astray
The love that should not fade, babe
(Baby!) If you cannot come yourself,
Don't tell nobody else
No postcards on the shelf from you
(Let me down)

Let me down easy, baby
Ease the pain in me
Let me down easy, honey
Why don't you set me free?

And since the day you turned away,
The memory's not gone away
Feels like yesterday every day
(Baby!) If you cannot come yourself,
Don't tell nobody else
No postcards on the shelf from you
(Let me down)

Let me down easy, baby
Ease the pain in me
Let me down easy, honey
Why don't you set me free?
Let me down easy, baby
Ease the pain in me
Let me down easy, honey
Why don't you set me free?

[Instrumental]

How can you be sure
The candle won't burn pure?
Just give me one more chance
Let me have this dance
(Let me down, let me down)

Let me down easy, baby
Ease the pain in me
Let me down easy, honey
Why don't you set me free?

Let me down easy
Let me down easy, love
So this is how you say goodbye
Then, bye-bye, baby, goodbye
Don't tell nobody else, please
No, don't tell, don't tell, don't tell nobody else
If you can't come yourself,
Why don't you be a man about it?
If you can't come yourself,
Then don't send nobody else
Why don't you be a man about it?
Won't you be a man about it?
