Samson and Delilah

Intro

 I think I’ve been forsaken

Not used to being naked

I though I’d save it ‘til I knew her more for sure

She’s stripped me back to basics

Can’t even try to fake it

I used to hide it but she cuts me like a knife

 

Samson & Delilah

I’m playing with fire

Samson & Delilah

Right down to the wire we go

 

She cut my hair with my power in

The strangest thing was I let her in

She pounds her gentle fist in a rage

My resistance slips away

 

Samson & Delilah

I’m playing with fire

Samson & Delilah

Right down to the wire we go

 

She lifts me up and she gets me down

She fills my head ‘til it’s spinning round

She gives me shelter. She gives me grief

I can’t break out. There’s no relief

 

Samson & Delilah 

I’m playing with fire

Samson & Delilah

Right down to the wire we go

 

Middle eight with vocal melody

 

A rose by any other name

Is still a rose just the same

A thorn in a bouquet

Will cut you the same way

No matter what you say

 

Samson & Delilah

I’m playing with fire

Samson & Delilah

Right down to the wire we go

 

Samson & Delilah

What price is desire

Samson & Delilah

Right down to the wire we go
