Well, Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had good looks, God knows, and coal-black hair
Delilah, she gained old Samson's mind
When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn't believe his mind
Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee
Said tell me where your strength lies, if you please
Then she spoke so kind, she talked so fair
That Samson said, Delilah, you cut off my hair
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
My strength become as natural as any old man
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
You read about Samson, all from his birth
He was the strongest man ever has lived on Earth
One day while Samson was walking along
Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jaw bone
Well, he stretched out his arm and his chains broke like threads
When he got to move, 10,000 was dead
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
Well, now Samson and the lion, they got in attack
And Samson he crawled up on the lion's back
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws
Samson got hands up 'round the lion's jaws
He ripped that beast, 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 would tear this whole building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
I would tear this whole building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down
