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 crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

she stood there laughing

i felt the knife in my hand , 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
