I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love in her her blind
She was my woman
As she decieved me I w atched and went out of my mind .
My... my... my... De -li-lah
Why... why... why... D e-li-l ah
I could see that girl was no good fo r me
But I was lost like a slave that no man coul d 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 ther e laughing
I felt the knife in her hand and she laughed no more .
My... my... my... De -li-lah
Why... why...why..., D e-li-lah
So bef ore they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take a nymore
