Lyrics The Platters

The Platters

Delilah

Delilah

I saw the light

On the night

That I passed by her window

I saw the flickering shadow

Of love on her blind

She was my woman

As she decieved 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 crossed 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

Forgive me Delilah

I just couldn't take any more
