Samson And Delilah

by Bad Manners

on Forging Ahead (1982)

Every single day
I'm waiting by my phone
Since you've gone away
It's lonely sleeping on my own
Out of luck
We had a lover's rot
Like so many lover's had before
Had to smile
Just for a little while
When I saw you
Walking through the door
Just like...
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
(I'm on fire)
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
(I'm on fire)

When I hear you say
(You say)
Our love is going wrong
Fills me with dismay
(Dismay)
Because we've been together for so long
Don't you know?
You didn't have to go
You thought I didn't love you anymore
But we were out of luck
We had a lover's rot
Just like a million others have before
Like:
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
(I'm on fire)
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
(I'm on fire)

What's it all about?
You say I'm out of line
In and out
And in and out
We had a really really really
Good time
I will change my ways
If you come back
To stay
(Dig it)
(Dig it)
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
(I'm on fire)
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
(I'm on fire)
Don't go away
Promise me you'll stay
Delilah
Delilah...
Don't ever stop
Take me to the top
Delilah
Delilah...
Look into my eyes
I want to hypnotize
Delilah
Delilah...
Delilah?
Delilah?
You can't cut my hair...
'Cause I haven't any there!
I'm still in love...
With you
Delilah
