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
And 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
Told me
that my hair was red
Told me
I was beautiful
And came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair
myself one night
A pair of dull scissors
in the yellow light
And he told me
that I'd done alright
And kissed me
'til the morning light
the morning light
And he kissed me
'til 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
Oh 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
not even once
You are
my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
