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 anymore



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 anymore

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
