If I Had My Way
If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down
You read about Samson and from his birth The strongest man that ever lived on Earth One day old Samson was walking alone He looked down on the ground and he saw an old jaw-bone Stretched out his and swung it over his head When he start moving ten thousand was dead
If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down
Samson and the lion got in attack Samson jumped up on the lion's back You read about him, he killed a man with his paw Samson got his hands around the lion's jaw He ripped that beast till the lion was dead The bees made honey in the lion's head
If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down
Delilah was a woman so fine and fair She had a lovely good looks and coal black hair Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Delilah came down on Samson's mind First he saw a woman of the Philistines She set down on Samson's knees
Tell me where your strength lies if you please She spoke so kind, talked so fair Samson told Delilah, 'Cut off all my hair Shave my head, clean as your hand My strength will be like a natural man'
Caught old Samson by surprise Picked up a stick and poked him eye to eye Backed him down to the judgment hall Chained him to the stone cold wall Left him there 'til his head turned brown Samson tore that building down
If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down, tear this building down Tear this building down
Tear this building down I would tear this building down Tear this building down I would tear this building down
