Shirley Manson - Samson and Delilah lyrics

[Intro] If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I'd burn this whole building down [Verse 1] Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair She had good looks and coal black hair Delilah, she gained ground on Samson's mind When he saw this woman, she looked so fine Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee "Said tell me where your strength lies, if you please" Then she spoke so kind and she talked so fair Till Samson said "Delilah, cut off my hair You can shave my head clean as my hand And my strength becomes as natural as any man" [Chorus] If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I'd burn this whole building down [Verse 2] People read about old Samson, as far back as his birth He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth One day while Samson's walking, walking alone Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone And he stretched out his arms and his chains broke like thread When he got to move, ten thousand men was dead [Chorus] If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I'd burn this whole building down If I had my way (if I had my way) If I had my way (if I had my way) If I had my way (if I had my way) I'd burn this building down [Verse 3] Little Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight And Samson he jumped up and took on the lion's might You all know just how a lion can k** a man with his paws Well Samson got his hands up round that lion's jaws And he ripped that beast and he k**ed him dead And the bees made honey in the lion's head [Chorus] If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I'd burn this whole building down If I had my way (if I had my way) If I had my way (if I had my way) If I had my way (if I had my way) I would burn this building down [Outro] If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way, I'd burn this whole building down
