Delilah - Tom Jones

1. Strophe

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

Yea, she was my woman

As she deceived me I watched

And went out of my mind

1. 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

2. Strophe

At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting

I crossed the street to her house

And she opened the door

There she stood just laughing

I felt the knife in my hand

And she laughed no more

2. Refrain

My my my Delilah, why why why Delilah

So before they come to break down the floor

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn’t take anymore

Instrumental

Interlude

Yea, she stood there laughing

I felt the knife in my hand

And she laughed no more

3. Refrain

My my my Delilah, why why why Delilah

So before they come to break down the floor

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn’t take anymore
