If I Had My Way

You read about Samson, you read about his birth He was the strongest man that ever lived on Earth One day old Samson was walking alone He looked down on the ground, and he saw an old jaw-bone He lifted up that jaw-bone, and he swung it over his head And when he got to moving, ten thousand was dead If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down Samson and the lion got in attack Samson, he crawled up on the lion's back You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paw (had my way, had my way) Samson, he got his hands around the lion's jaw (had my way, had my way) And he ripped that beast 'til the lion was dead (had my way, had my way) And the bees made honey in the lion's head (had my way, had my way) If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down Delilah, she was a woman, she was fine and fair (yeah) She had lovely looks, God knows, and cold black hair Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee And said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please" She talked so fine, she talked so fair Samson said, "Delilah, cut off my hair Shave my head clean as your hand, and my strength will be like a natural man" If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down If I had my way If I had my way, if I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down, yeah
