lyrics

Oh my God, oh my God I talk a lot
My name is Delilah and I've got problems
Recently I've been selling all kinds of things
Trying to make some money, including my lover
Oh to tell, everything I don't know so well
How to take his strength away
How to kill him, I don't know
Even though I told them I did
I guess I'll just ask him, how could he lie to me?

I took all his hair and tied it into a braid and
Then the guards came in and he made a fool of me
So I cut all his hair off and put it into a pile
And then they came in and took him away from me

Oh my God, oh my God I fail a lot
Yes, you know I'm Samson
I long to please you
Recently I've doin' all kinds of things
That you told me not to, now please return to me
As you know, I killed some men with a donkey bone
And I ate some honey from a lion's rib
And now I fell in love with a Gentile
Who then went and sold me to my enemies

And then the Lord left me, oh, you know I'm sorry
Let the nations see that you are the strength in me
They gouged both my eyes out, but Lord I know that somehow
Underneath these pillars you will bring peace to me

Oh our Lord, oh our Lord you love a lot
Yes, we are your children
We long to please you
Recently, we've been sellin' all kinds of things
Tryin' to make some money, we've forgotten our lover
