I saw the light by the night
When I passed by her window
I saw those 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 can 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
And 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 could not take anymore
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 can see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand
And 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 could not take anymore
Forgive me Delilah I just could not take anymore
