Adam please
don’t you blame yourself
the gates of Eden
are meant for somebody else

Adam my dear, ah-ah
no matter what they say or do
I don’t care
as long as I can be here with you

oh yeah, I took an apple down from the tree
now they wanna see the back of you and me
oh let them keep their paradise
I wouldn’t think about it twice, yeah, yeah

well bless my soul
oh can’t they understand
it’s, it’s not so hard
to leave the promised land
yeah, I don’t wanna leave

I took an apple down from the tree
now they wanna see the back of you and me
oh let them keep their paradise
I wouldn’t think about it twice

Adam baby
ah, don’t you look so sad
how we gonna miss
what we never really had, oh no

Adam please
Adam please, Adam please
Adam please
bless my soul

bless my soul

bless my soul
Adam please
