Lyrics

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came falling on our hats

But they're just old light, they're just old light

Your hair was long when we first met

[Verse 2]

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 till the morning light, the morning light

And he kissed me till the morning light

[Verse 3]

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

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 the history books forgot about us

And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

[Outro]

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first
