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 fallin' 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 mornin' light, 
the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread 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
