DELILAH
Strophe:
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
Refrain:
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
Strophe:
AT BREAK OF DAY WHEN THAT MAN DROVE AWAY, I WAS WAITING
I CROSS 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
Refrain:
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
Solo:
SHE WAS MY WOMAN
AS SHE DECEIVED ME I WATCHED AND WENT OUT OF MY MIND
Refrain:
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 (3X)
ANY MORE
