Shirley Manson - Samson And Delilah Lyrics

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way
Id burn this whole building down

Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had good looks, and coal black hair
Delilah, she can ground on Samsons mind
When he saw this woman, she looked so fine
Delilah she climbed up on Samsons knee
Said tell me where your strength lies,
If you please
Then she spoke so kind and she talked so fair
Til Samson said, Delilah, cut off my hair!

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way
Id burn this whole building down

People read about old Samson
As far back as his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day while Samsons walking, walking along,
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

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way
Id burn this whole building down
If I had my way, if I had my way,if I had my way,
Id burn this whole building down

Verse Three
Well, Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight
And Samson he jumped up
and took on the lions might
You wont know just how a lion kill a man with his paws
Well, Samson got his hands up round that lions jaws
And he ripped that beast and he killed him dead
And the bees laid honey in the lions' head

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
Id burn this whole building down
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would burn this building down
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
Id burn this whole building down
