I won't let you in, she said,
You've got whiskey on your breath.
And I ain't the kinda woman,
Who'll swear she'll change a man.
That's something to figure out for yourself.
But, oh... How I wish that things were different.
Oh... How I wish that things could change,
But I'm not 19, I'm not naive,
I just wish my heart would tell my mind what to believe.
Well, I can't take this bed with sleepiness,
Who built a wall here in between.
Cause I thought that being strong,
Was the measure of a man.
Delilah, can you see what you've done to me?
And oh... How I wish that things were different.
Oh... How I wish that things could change.
But I'm not 19, I'm not naive,
I just wish my heart would tell my mind what to believe.
If I could get you back to the place where I first held you,
I think we'd recognize the cost to what's at stake,
And truth be told, the vows we made, for worse of better,
Don't mean a thing, If we throw it all away.
And oh... How I wish that things were different.
Oh... How I wish that things could change,
But I'm not 19, I'm not naive,
I just wish my heart would tell my mind what to believe.
