Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah?
[Verse 3]
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah?
[Verse 6]
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore
[Verse 7]
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
[Verse 8]
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
[Verse 9]
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
