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 [Am7]no good for [Dm7]me
But I was [Am7]lost like [F]a slave that no man could free.
At break of day when that man drove away, I was [Am7]waiting
I cross the stɾeet to [C7]her house and [Bm]she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my [A]hand [Bm]and [Bm]she laughed no more.
My, my, my [A]delilah
Why, why, why delilah
So before they come to [C7]break down the door
Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more.

Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more
Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more.
