I got to feeling I'm a-falling Like a star up in the blue Like I was walking off Niagra In a paddle-boat canoe I got to feeling I'm a-falling And it's all because of you Like I was waking on a tight rope Yes, swinging in the breeze And though I try to keep my balance I just weaken in the knees I got to feeling I'm a-falling Oh, lover, help me please Like a leaf falls from a branch Like a rockslide avalanche Like the rain on a stormy day I never thought I'd fall this way I thought that love could never touch me Yeah, I was riding high
And then my ivory tower toppled And I tumbled from the sky I got to feeling I'm a-falling And you're the reason why Now like Goliath when he met his foe Like the walls of Jericho Like Delilah's home in town When Samson tore it down I thought that love could never touch me Yeah, I was riding high And then my ivory tower toppled And I tumbled from the sky I got to feeling I'm a-falling And you're the reason why Yeah, you're the reason why Ooh, you're the reason why Ooh, you're the reason why Ooh, you're the reason why
