I saw the light on the night
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 cross 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
My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why Delilah
I could see
that girl was no good for me
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
<Interlude>
She was my women
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
Why, why, why, Delilah
My, my, my, Delilah
So before they come to break
down the door
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take any more
