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 crossed the street to her house and 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 Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore
