Delilah Lyrics

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 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

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

What is the Meaning of Delilah?

Exploring the depths of human emotion and the consequences of betrayal, this classic track narrates a tale of love, deceit, and tragic retribution. The protagonist recounts witnessing his beloved's infidelity through the shadows cast on her window. Consumed by jealousy and heartbreak, he confronts her at dawn. Her mocking laughter drives him to an uncontrollable rage, leading to a violent act that ends her life. The repeated refrain "My, my, my Delilah" underscores his torment and obsession, while his plea for forgiveness reveals a man overwhelmed by emotions he could no longer control. This poignant narrative serves as a stark reminder of how love can turn into madness when trust is shattered.
