Be Gentle with Me

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 die I'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 dying So just be gentle with me (I'm not as young as I was) And I'll be gentle with you I'm not as brave as I thought 'Cause my heart gets broken so easily So just be gentle, be gentle with me Wide 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 me I guess I've always needed To be needed by someone It's a comforting feeling Being under someone's thumb So just be gentle with me (And if I am ever mean) And I'll be gentle with you I 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 me So just be gentle with me Trouble is sometimes And I'll be gentle with you I 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
