I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
Like a star up in the blue
Like I was fallin' off Niag'ra
In a paddle boat canoe
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And it's all because o' you

Like I was walkin' on a tight rope
Swingin' in the breeze
And though I try to keep my balance
Well I just weaken in the knees
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
Oh lover, help me please

Like a leaf falls from a branch
Like a rock slide 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 ridin' high
And then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And lover, you're the reason why

Like Goliath when he met his foe
Like the walls of Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town
And Samson tore it down

I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
But then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a fallin'
And you're the reason why
Oooh, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Baby, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Oooh, you're...........FADE
