I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin' Like a star up in the blue, Like I was fallin' off Niagara In a paddle-boat canoe. Mmm, I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin' And it's all because of you. Like I was walkin' on a tightrope, Swingin' in the breeze, And though I try to keep my balance Yeah I weaken in the knees. I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin' 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 ivory tower toppled And I tumbled from the sky. Mm, I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin' You're the reason why. Like Goliath when he met his foe, Just 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 ridin' high And then my ivory tower toppled And I tumbled from the sky. Mm, I got to feelin' I'm a'fallin' And you're the reason why, Oh you're the reason why, Lover you're the reason why, Lover, lover you're the reason why...
