Let Me Down Slow

(album: A Bigger Bang - 2005)

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

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

Oh baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh na na na na
I said let me stretch out in the afterglow
Oh na na na na

Let me down real slow
Oh na na na
Oh, baby, let me down real slow
