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

You lyin' next to me – it's outta my head
Fulfilled some destiny – and into my heart
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh
Just a little bit of letting go – take a new day
I don't want you to know – and make a new start
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh

I more than long for your affection
I love you day and night
I tell you now that it ain't so
I want you more than life
Not even gentle persuasion
Fulfill some destiny
Is ever gonna let me go
I wanna say

You lyin' next to me – it's outta my head
Fulfilled some destiny – and into my heart
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh
Just a little bit of letting go – take a new day
I don't want you to know – and make a new start
I wanna cry but I breathe a sigh

Won't you let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe
