Day after day, I try to please you Day after day, I have to bend Day after day, I feel the softness slip away And it's leaving me frightened again I'm a dandelion, dandelion Frail and frightened of the light at the end I'm a dandelion, dandelion Hey, be gentle or I'll break in the wind Time after time, I try to tell you Time after time, I meant to share Maybe this time I'll put my feelings all in rhyme Cause the carelessness is more than I can bear I'm a dandelion, dandelion Frail and frightened of the love that's real I'm a dandelion, dandelion Take me gentle or I'll break in the wind I'm a dandelion, dandelion Frail and frightened of the love that's real I'm a dandelion, dandelion Take me gentle or I'll break in the wind
