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 Oh, my, my, my, Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah I could see that girl was no good for me But I was lost in like a sleep 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 left no more Oh, 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 left no more Oh, 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
