Shirley Manson - Samson & Delilah

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down

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
Til Samson said Delilah, cut off my hair
You can shave my head as clean as my hand
And my strength becomes as natural as any man

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down

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 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
I'd burn this whole building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this building down

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 kill a man with his paws
Well Samson got his hands up round that lion's jaws
And he ripped that beast and he killed him dead
And the bees made honey in the lion's head

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
I would burn this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down
