Be My Downfall Lyrics - Hatful Of Rain: The Best Of Del Amitri - Del Amitri

Well the bus is pulling out and I guess I'd better go 

Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show 

And twenty miles away she waits alone for me 

But when I try to picture her you're the one I see 

And in another situation I could put up a fight 

But you will be my downfall tonight 

So the night is coming down, drowning us in blue 

And it all points towards the things we know we shouldn't do 

And as I look at you and I fall under your spell 

Well I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself 

And when faced with temptation 

You know a man should stand and fight 

But you will be my downfall tonight 

Be my downfall, be my great regret, be the one girl that I'll never forget 

Be my undoing, be my slow road to ruin tonight 

Be my downfall, be my great regret, be the one girl that I'll never forget 

Be my undoing, be my slow road to ruin tonight 

So the bus is pulling out and I'm grounded here with you 

And I want to say the sweet things babe I've always wanted to 

So tell me now the tail-lights have gone out of sight 

Baby won't you be my downfall once again tonight
