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

Oh my, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah

I could see
that girl was not 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
I just couldn't 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

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
