Delilah, may I cut your hair?
Use your braids to tie you to the bed we share?
May I keep you there,
to stay forever at my pleasure?

Delilah, you are my lover,
but you do not love me.

With slender fingers that I often kissed
you found your way inside my skin and
deftly pulled a heartstring out,
wrapping it like wire
'round your slender finger like a ring.  
Would you attach it to your heart
or cut it, too?

Delilah, you are my love
but you do not love me.

What can I do to make you love me?

Anything if you will stay

Delilah, will you cut my hair?
I will be your slave forever,
or longer,
if it should be your pleasure.

I will die at your pleasure, cruel Delilah.

Kiss me.
Say that you love me.
Lie, Delilah, lie.
You say you love me,
Delilah, lie, lie, lie.

You are my lover,
but you do not love me.
Nothing I could do would make you love me,
but you lie, Delilah.
Every night, you lie to me.

You took everything from me.

Delilah, I want to cut your hair,
use your braids to tie you to the bed we share,
and make you stay there at my pleasure.

Die at my pleasure, cruel Delilah.
