De(That's Alright)lilah Lyrics

1-2-3-4

I saw the light of the night as I passed by her room
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
And as she betrayed me I watched and went out of my mind

Why? Why? Why? Delilah
Why? Why? WHY? Delilah

I could see this girl was no good for me
Cursed like a slave I was lost and no man could free

At break of day when this man drove away, I was waiting

I cross the street to her house, she opened the door

She stood there laughing

But I held a knife in my hand and she laughed no more

NO MORE!

Why? Why? Why? Delilah
Why? Why? WHY? Delilah

So, before, they come to break down the door

Forgive me Delilah
'cause I just couldn't take any more







So before they come to break down the door

I held the knife in my hand



Well, that's alright mama
That's alright with you
That's alright mama
Just anyway you do
but that's alright
that's alright
That's alright now mama
anyway you do


Well I'm leaving town baby
Leaving town for sure
If you can't be bothered with me
hangin' round your door

but that's alright
that's alright
Well That's alright now mama
(Go Teddy)
anyway you do
(Go Boy)

Guitar solo

I need your lovin'
That's alright
That's alright now mama

In my head
I

Why? Why? Why? Delilah
Why? Why? WHY? Delilah

So before, they come to break down the door,
forgive me Delilah, but I just couldn't take anymore

LET"S GO

Everyone:
Why? Why? Why? Delilah
Why? Why? WHY? Delilah

So before, they come to break down the door,
forgive me Delilah, but I just couldn't take anymore

Molly Malone's LET's GO

Why? Why? Why? Delilah
Why? Why? WHY? Delilah

So before, they come to kick down your door,
forgive me Delilah, but I just couldn't take anymore

Why? Why? Why? Delilah
Why? Why? WHY? Delilah

So before, they come to break down the door,
forgive me Delilah, but I just couldn't take anymore

forgive me Delilah, but I just couldn't take ANYMORE

No More!

Originally by Tom Jones, FM just covered it. Still did a sweet job with it, though.
