I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on the blind
She was my woman
And as she betrayed 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 to me
Just like a slave I was lost and no man could free

At break of day when this man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house, 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

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
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
