TOM JONES
- Delilah Lyrics / with translationsI 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 cross 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
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 cross 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
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

The text shows a very active relationship where the trust was shattered, and the protagonist's behavior was completely motivated by a combination of heartbreak and a revenge wish.

I've been singing this song since I was a squirt too and it down't matter that it is about murder. A song about one mans' jealousy ,in my mothers eyes, was better than singing a song about sex appeal.
