Delilah Tab

by Tom Jones


                                                
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 one 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 mo--oo--ore
