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

I'm feeling very empowered this evening. Exhausted... but empowered. I'm going to give partial credit to the Vagina Monologues. I love when women can join together and connect over the one thing that joins all of us together. I hate seeing women fighting women. Oh the things we could accomplish if we joined together. We all have a story that's very different... yet our stories... so much the same. Upon entering college, my eyes were opened to a much larger world. Various events have made the picture even more large. Thank goodness for events and productions like the Vagina Monologues to keep from our eyes getting foggy, for it's important that we as women stay empowered and understand what is truly going on with not only our bodies, but others as well. Say it with me... VAGINA! :) GO EVE ENSLER!
Oh, and you may wonder why the Regina lyrics, well, I've been listening to this song virtually on repeat for the last 3 hours. I'm giving Regina credit for my failure to push reply. Slowly... but surely....
