He recalls "cutting her hair" once (symbolically of some other act he was comitting under the veil of something of benefit to her), which at the time was an innocent act in her eyes, but he was secretly betraying her (as Delilah did to Samson). He feels bad of her being unaware of this betrayal and therefore would like to be called "delilah" as retribution.

She is wondering if he is off doing this to someone new, impressing another girl with his smoothness (incantations). "sim sala bim" i believe refers to the magician Harry August Jansen who would say this as thanks to applause from the audience. She sees him as desiring praise and self fulfillment from someone and then coldly moving onto the next...
