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 crossed 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
I could see
that girl was no good for me
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
She was my woman
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
Why why why Delilah
My my my 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
