I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me
I watched and went out of my mind
My my my
Delilah
Why why why
Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away
I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My my my
Delilah
Why why why
Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me
Delilah
I just couldn't take any more

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My my my
Delilah
Why why why
Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me
Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
Forgive me
Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
