Lyrics
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I noticed a light on the night I walked past her window.
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
I observed the uncertain and changing signs of love on her window blinds.
She was my woman
She was my romantic partner.
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
As she betrayed me, I witnessed it and became distraught.
My, my, my Delilah
Expressing possessiveness or emphasis on the name "Delilah."
Why, why, why, Delilah?
Pleading and questioning why Delilah acted as she did.
I could see, that girl was no good for me
Realizing that the girl was not a suitable partner for him.
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
Feeling lost and trapped in a situation that seemed impossible to escape.
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Waiting for an opportunity when another man left.
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
Crossing the street to her house and approaching her.
She stood there laughing
Delilah mocking or finding amusement in the situation.
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
Feeling intense emotions, possibly anger, and resorting to violence.
My, my, my Delilah
Reiterating the possessive or intense feelings toward Delilah.
Why, why, why, Delilah?
Continuing to question Delilah's actions and expressing confusion.
So before they come to break down the door
Anticipating consequences and expressing regret for one's actions.
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
Seeking forgiveness from Delilah due to reaching a breaking point.
She stood there laughing
Repeating the scene of Delilah laughing, possibly in a mocking way.
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
Reaffirming the violent act and the end of Delilah's laughter.
My, my, my Delilah
Reiterating possessive or intense emotions towards Delilah.
Why, why, why, Delilah?
Continuing to question Delilah's actions and expressing confusion.
So before they come to break down the door
Anticipating consequences and expressing regret for one's actions.
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
Seeking forgiveness from Delilah due to reaching a breaking point.
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
Repeating the plea for forgiveness and expressing an inability to endure further.
