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
