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
And as she betrayed 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 to me
And just like a slave I was lost that no man could free

At break of day, when this man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house. She opened the door
She stood there laughing
And I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Ooh why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

Piano / dance
Guitar solo

She stood there laughing
And 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

Oh my, my, my, Delilah
Oh 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
