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       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
