I still remember when I saw your face across the room Told me to take you but the price of love would seal my doom I know the way you made the others break But loving me would be your first mistake Slave away, slave away Modern day Delilah Each time you learn to give Queen to slave Modern day Delilah Listen You lived your glory in a liars haze you called the truth The same old story of a social plan from wasted youth You thought that you could bring me to my knees But who's the one who's crying baby please Slave away, slave away Modern day Delilah Each time you learn to give Queen to slave Modern day Delilah Just like the trigger of a loaded gun You were the reason for the damage done Too many lovers like a hunters prey Not today I know the way you made the others break But loving me would be your last mistake Each time you learn to give Slave away Modern day Delilah Shame, shame, shame on you girl Queen to slave, come on now Modern day Delilah Yeah, yeah, each time you learn to give Slave away, slave away Now you'll pay Delilah Queen to slave, loves decayed Delilah
