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

Why, why, why 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

and she laughed no more

Why, why, why Delilah

Why, why, why, Delilah?

So before they come to break down the door

Forgive me, Delilah, I just could not 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 could not take any more

Forgive me, Delilah, I just could not take any more
