| 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 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 | |
| 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 | |
| [insert trumpet solo here] | |
| 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 |
