Uh uh-uh
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos

As soon as I love her it's been too long
Talks of future with you makes me I'll
Swallow my sugar kiss, and eat it alone
Hearts collide and smash any dreams of love

These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos, dominos

Three words we shared said you weren't only all
Stuck with forever to the point of tears
Swimming with the villa where we slowly drown
Ending at never haunting melody

As soon as I love her it's been too long.
And I really love breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on I was wrong
The hottest love has the coldest end

These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos, dominos

These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos, dominoes

Uh uh-uh
