Delilah

Delilah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

Who are you kidding
With that smug look on your face
It makes me so angry you act that way
Bat your eyes, tell a few white lies
And get your way
Going downhill on an uphill slope
And with every jab you slice the rope
You laugh out loud
But you know it's not a joke

Deli-Delilah
How long will you run
Keeping all the pain inside
And Deli-Delilah
There's love to fill you up
Give your life a sweet desire
To cool the fire
Oh, hey, how about it

Delilah, oh, yeah

So what's the pain that you hide today
The closet rattles, you run away
You want the others to hurt like you hurt
And with every notch upon your door
You're one step closer than before
But you're headed nowhere
On an endless shore

Deli-Delilah
How long will you run
Keeping all the pain inside
And Deli-Delilah
There's love to fill you up
Give your life a sweet desire
To cool the fire
Oh, hey, how about it

I know it's so hard to fathom
From your point of view
Girl, the need in you
To walk away from the pain inside
Oh, at least just try

Oh, yeah
Keeping all the pain inside
(Oh, Delilah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
Oh, yeah, yeah

Deli-Delilah
How long will you run
Oh, keeping all the pain inside
Deli-Delilah
There's love to fill you up
And give your life a sweet desire
To fly away
To a brighter, brighter, brighter day
