I Want to Make You Love Me - Live - Janis Ian

Friendly stranger

look what you do to me

Smiling faces

and I melt inside

singing praises of your company

I want to lay me down

Stay all through the night

You are too good to be

wholly and totally mine

You are too good to be

slipping away like wine

and I'm waiting, praying

skating on the edge of the line

Let me down easy

Let me down easy

I want to make you love me

and I want to make you smile

and I want to be your family

for just a little while

I get frightened by the thunder

and the lightning roars

like a bullet in the pourin rain

I get heightened

by your wondering arms

Lay me down-

do it all over again

you are too good to be

wholly and totally mine

You are slipping away

and I'm making you stay

and I'm waiting for the sun to shine

I go rolling down the incline

holding on a lifeline

stopping on the edge of a dime

Let me down easy

Let me down easy
