Staring up into the solar system
All the stars are fixed up in the sky
I just want to sparkle for a moment
Before I just fizzle out and dieI'm happy because I'm stupid
Scared of spiders, scared of flying
If I wasn't so happy
I wouldn't be so scared of dyingSo just be gentle with me
(I'm not as young as I was)
And I'll be gentle with youI'm not as brave as I thought
'Cause my heart gets broken so easily
So just be gentle, be gentle with meWide awake, waiting like a target
Listening for things I cannot see
Insects flutter up against my window
I don't like the way they look at meI guess I've always needed
To be needed by someone
It's a comforting feeling
Being under someone's thumbSo just be gentle with me
(And if I am ever mean)
And I'll be gentle with youI never mean to be mean
'Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree
Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle, be gentle with meSo just be gentle with me
Trouble is sometimes
And I'll be gentle with youI just can't switch myself off when I want to so I never do
Because I'm mental, be gentle, be gentle
Just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle
And I'll be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,be gentle with you
