If I Had It My Way - Emrys Galimore

You read about Samson, you read about his birth He was 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 He lifted up that jaw-bone, and he swung it over his head And when he got to moving, ten thousand was dead If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down Samson and the lion got in attack Samson, he crawled up on the lion's back You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paw (had my way, had my way) Samson, he got his hands around the lion's jaw (had my way, had my way) And he ripped that beast 'til the lion was dead (had my way, had my way) And the bees made honey in the lion's head (had my way, had my way) If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down Delilah, she was a woman, she was fine and fair (yeah) She had lovely looks, God knows, and cold black hair Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee And said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please" She talked so fine, she talked so fair Samson said, "Delilah, cut off my hair Shave my head clean as your hand, and my strength will be like a natural man" If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down If I had my way If I had my way, if I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way, I would tear this building down, yeah

Sometimes I can't move my feet it seems As if I'm stuck in the ground somehow like a tree As if I can't even breathe And my screams come whispering out As if nobody can even see me, like a ghost Sometimes I can't see myself sometimes Then again If I were a king, If I had everything If I had you and I could give you your dreams If I were giant-sized, on top of it all Then tell me what in the world would I sing for If I had it all? Sometimes I feel lost As I pull you out like strings of memories Wish I could weave them into you And I could figure the whole damn puzzle out Then again If I were a king, If I had everything If I had you and I could give you your dreams If I were giant-sized, on top of it all Tell me what in the world would I go on for If I had it all? I could take anything If I had no greed to pay Only the poison that's tainting the clean Then nothing Remembering times Much younger than me now When my breath was light When the world raised me up kind Here mother comforts child Every moment was waking up But now I've grown tired If I had it all You know, I'd fuck it up If I were a king, If I had everything If I had you and I could give you your dreams If I were giant-sized, on top of it all Tell me what in the world would I sing for If I were a king, if I had everything Piece by piece If I had you, if I could give you your dreams If I were giant-sized, on top of it all Then tell me why in the world would I go on for If I had it all If I had it all If I had it all

You made plans to leave a thousand times I know And a thousand times I should have let you go But each time I'll always beg you back somehow If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now It'd all be over now cept the crying I'd be used to spending all my nights alone Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now It'd all be over now cept the crying I'd be used to spending all my nights alone Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now

If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna do it Do it without me, no, no I thought that I could hold a candle All alone But without your love, I couldn't see a way Thought that I could play the hero On my own But without you, I just don't know who to save If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me, no, no It's a long and lonely highway By yourself You could drive all night and never get too far You went and did it your way No one else But you only put the miles upon your heart If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me, no You and I We didn't always get along, oh no Instead of goodbye Why don't we get on back where we both belong, oh If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me, no, oh no
