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 want 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 broke away
I was waiting
I crossed that street to her house
And she opened the door
She stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand
And she laughted no more
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 broke away
I was waiting
I crossed that street to her house
And she opened the door
She stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand
And she laughted no more
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
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 broke away
I was waiting
I crossed that street to her house
And she opened the door
She stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand
And she laughted no more
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
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
