I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window I saw the flickering shadows of love on the blinds She was my woman As she betrayed me I watched, went out of my mind My, my, my Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah I could see that girl was no good to me Just like a slave I was lost and no man could free
But at break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting I crossed the street to her house, she opened the door She stood there laughing I felt the knife in my hand, 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 anymore
She stood there, laughing I felt the knife in my hand, 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 anymore
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 anymore Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore
