Hey There Delilah (from Samson) Lyrics

Hey there, Delilah
This is your ex-boyfriend Samson
I know you thought that lifting weights
Made me so buff and handsome
You were wrong
Its cause I let my hair grow long
That makes me strong

Hey there, Delilah
You came in while I was sleeping
And I couldnt feel you cutting
And I didnt hear you creeping out the door
You left my hair piled on the floor
While I just snored.

Oh, what you did to me
Oh, while I was asleep
Oh, Im a Nazarene
Oh, but you shave me clean
Delilah youre so mean

I killed a lion, big and mean
And slaughtered many Philistines
all with a donkey's jawbone
thats no lie.
Now Im chained up to the wall
And I cant cry no tears at all
Because they came and gouged out both my eyes.

Whyd you grab your clipping shears
And shave my head like Britney Spears?
And now Im standing here in total shame
Youre to blame

Hey there, Delilah why did you have to deceive me
And its hard for me to think not long ago I wanted you to be my bride
But you took too much off the sides
Hey there, Delilah when you die
Just tell the Devil I said, "Hi,"
hell know why

Oh, its what you did to me,
Oh, now Im up a creek.
Oh, now I feel so weak.
And Oh, I look like a freak.
Delilah, youre a geek.
Oh, oh, oh
