In the Bible, one thousand years BC
There's a story of ancient history
'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be
'Til he met a cheatin' girl who brought him tragedy
Oh, run, Samson, run, Delilah's on her way
Run, Samson, run, you ain't got time to stay
Run, Samson, run, on your mark, you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a girl with a cheatin' heart
She was a demon (was a demon), a devil in disguise
He was taken (he was taken) by the angel in her eyes
That lady barber (lady barber, ooh) was very well-equipped
You can bet your bottom dollar, he was gonna get clipped
Oh, run, Samson, run, Delilah's on her way
Run, Samson, run, you ain't got time to stay
Run, Samson, run, on your mark, you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a girl with a cheatin' heart
Oh, Delilah (oh, Delilah) made Sammy's life a sin
And he perished (and he perished) when the roof fell in
There's a moral (there's a moral, ooh), so listen to me pal
There's a little of Delilah in each and every girl
So run, Samson, run, Delilah's on her way
Run, Samson, run, you ain't got time to stay
Run, Samson, run, on your mark, you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a girl with a cheatin' heart
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a girl with a cheatin' heart
