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 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 for me 
But I was lost like a slave that no one 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 
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more 
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
