Run Samson Run

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
