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 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
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
(insert trumpet solo here)
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 couldn't take any more
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
