Lyrics
I gave you all my love
Don't you abuse it
I gave you tender loving care
Oh baby, don't misuse it
If you got somebody
You got somebody else on your mind
I want you to please, oh please baby
Let me down easy
I've sweated and toiled for you, baby
And I know you know it
But, if you got any appreciation for me
Oh, you got a sad way of showing it
If you got somebody
Oh, if you got somebody else on your mind
I want you to please, please baby
Let me down easy
Oh, you ought to give me credit baby
You ought to give credit where credit is due right now
'Cause I know that you know
Oh, I been so good to you. Hey!
I did everything for you baby, yes I did
That a man, a man is supposed to do
But oh, you're taking advantage of me
Cause you know I'm a fool for you
If you got somebody
Oh, if you got somebody else on your mind
I want you to, to please baby
Let me down easy
Oh baby
Let me down easy, yeah
Don't let me go fast, oh no no
No no oh
Would you let me down easy?
If you let me down easy
It would be all right baby
You know I don't mind begging you
Oh oh oh baby
Please...
Oh
Oh yeah
Oh baby
Do you feel it, yeah
