you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first, i loved you first
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
i have to go, i have to go
your hair was long when we first met.
samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
and history books forgot about us
and the bible didn't mention us
the bible didn't mention us
not even once.
you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first, i loved you first
beneath the stars came falling on our heads
but they're just old light, they're just old light
your hair was long when we first met
samson came to my bed
he told me that my hair was red
he told me i was beautiful and came in to my bed
i cut his hair myself one night
a pair of dull sissors in the yellow light
and he told me that i've done alright
and he kissed me till the morning light
samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
no we couldn't bring the columns down
yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
and history books forgot about us
and the bible didn't mention us
you are my sweetest downfall.
i loved you first.
