[Verse 1]
Let me down slow and easy
Because there ain't nothing I can do
I hope and pray, my faith won't leave me
When it comes down to me and you
[Chorus 1]
Try a little tenderness
I die a little
For a long lost sweet caress
[Chorus 2]
You lying next to me
Fulfilled some destiny
I want to cry
But I breathe a sigh
Just a little bit of letting go
I don't want you to know
I want to cry
But I breathe a sigh
[Verse 2]
Overflow of emotion
And a hurt that'll never heal
If you close the door forever
The fate of pain is sealed
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
I more than long for your affection
You tell me now that ain't so
Not even gentle persuasion
Is ever going to let me go
[Chorus 2]
[Outro]
Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh
Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh
Won't you let me breathe?
Let me down slow and easy
Because there ain't nothing I can do
I hope and pray, my faith won't leave me
When it comes down to me and you
[Chorus 1]
Try a little tenderness
I die a little
For a long lost sweet caress
[Chorus 2]
You lying next to me
Fulfilled some destiny
I want to cry
But I breathe a sigh
Just a little bit of letting go
I don't want you to know
I want to cry
But I breathe a sigh
[Verse 2]
Overflow of emotion
And a hurt that'll never heal
If you close the door forever
The fate of pain is sealed
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
I more than long for your affection
You tell me now that ain't so
Not even gentle persuasion
Is ever going to let me go
[Chorus 2]
[Outro]
Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh
Won't you let me breathe?
Won't you let me breathe?
Breathe a sigh
Won't you let me breathe?
