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 metSamson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread
And went right back to bedAnd the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
The Bible didn't mention us
Not even onceYou 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 metSamson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
He told me I was beautiful
And came into my bedOh, I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me till the morning lightSamson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread
And went right back to bedOh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even onceYou are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
