La Roux - Let Me Down Gently Lyrics






Let me down gently
That's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That's what I really need
Tell me that I'm someone good
So we're not so far apart, apart
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You're not my life but I want you in it

Set me up slowly
That's what you do to me
Oh you set me up slowly
Now I can't come down, down
Let you down gently
That's what I think you need
But when I let you down you're empty
And you try to hide your frowns, frowns
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You're not my life but I want you in it

And I hope it's sinking in
That behind your perfect skin
There's a part of you that's free
And I know that there's a place for me

Let me down gently
That's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That's what I really need
Tell me that I'm someone good
So we're not so far apart, apart

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young and foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You're not my life but I want you in it

And I hope it's sinking in
That behind your perfect skin
There's a part of you that's free
And I know that there's a place for me

  63. F.... N....

    Discovering you 10 years later. Love you guys!

  64. N.... G....

    Im so in love with this...
    But there is one thing that haunted me: I just heard it for the first time, so why this song sounds so damn familiar to me? Like... I dont know... its a cover of some old popular song. Am I the only one who got that feeling while listening to this? Is it only impresion of 80's style? That blows my mind!

  65. I.... ....

  70. j.... w....

    I just can't fathom all of the talent that has been ripped from the cosmos and placed into her tiny beautiful soul. Don't ever sell out on us Elly! We got your back forever. This may just be one the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life. I'm 50, so I've heard a LOT of great music.

  71. J.... O....

    ¡Brutal!

  72. S.... ....

    She touches my heart. I love this.

  73. H.... ....

    I always venture out into different artist and genres... but I seem to always find myself making a full circle back to LaRoux ❤️

  74. M.... w....

    When you miss the 80's/90's but it's 2014

  75. o.... ....

    I wish she would come back

  76. S.... t....

    ill let you down slowly hot cakes..and run my fingers thru that carrot top wig you have

  77. T.... ....

    Why wasn't this huge? It is a great song.

  78. D.... �....

    Brilliant song

  79. t.... ....

    I wonder if this song was about the duo splitting and her continuing as a solo artist.

  80. S.... Y....

    I see a little Frida Kahlo in her face. Both beautiful and great original artists <3

    S.... Y....

    I do not see this resemblance to Frida 😄 Elly much more beautiful 🙋

  81. E.... L....

    Almost 5 years and I still listen to this song like its new.😩❤️ Where has she been?

  82. C.... T....

  96. A.... F....

    La roux is more artistic musically compared to lady ga ga but have said that lady ga ga in a star is born remake is quite good despite most people know the story from other movie versions.

  97. M.... M....

    Elly is a great artist. Elegante, sensuality, mysterious. Truly beautiful 💖 You can give me news of her

  98. K.... O....

    I hurt for la roux (Ellie Jackson) she is so beautiful and makes great music!!!!
