[Verse 1]
Delilah, Delilah
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You're irresistible
You make me smile
When I'm just about to cry
You bring me hope

[Verse 2]
Delilah, Delilah
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You're unpredictable
You make me so very happy

[Bridge]
Delilah, Delilah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You take over my house and home
You even try to answer my telephone
Delilah, you're the apple of my eye
Meeow meeow meeow
Delilah, I love you, Delilah
[Verse 3]
Ooh, you make me so very happy
You give me kisses
And I go out of my mind, ooh
Meeow meeow meeow
You're irresistible, I love you, Delilah
Delilah, I love you
[Outro]
Hah-hah
You make me very happy
Oh yeah
I love your kisses
I love your kisses
I love your kisses
I love your kisses
I love your, your, your kisses
I love your kisses
