Adam's Rib

You were not the first man to make my heart skip beats
To walk upon the earth and to sweep me off my feet
There was a man I met first who turned out to be a snake
Ever since mankind has been cursed, I've had constant heartache

In the beginning there was you and there was me
You let the light in and I'm starting to see
Throughout the ages I never thought I could
But now I just might say that it is good

He spun me a bad apple, rotten to the core
But maybe now that you're here I don't need him anymore
You're not God's first creation but I'm starting to believe
Maybe you'll be my salvation, maybe I can be your Eve

God made the world from upon his throne
Then made Adam and alone Adam roamed
Ol' Adam was hurtin' for a little company
He said "God you created the land and the seas
The mountaintops, the birds and the bees
Can you whip up a little somethin' for me?
And God put Adam in a deep, deep sleep
God reached down and rolled up his sleeves
Took out Adam's rib and with it made Eve
And together they lived in God's garden in ease
'Til Eve started eatin' them apples from trees
But that's another story
