Sweet Delilah, come inside
And won't you mend my broken bones
The more that I get thrust aside
The more I beg you not to go
I'm building up a wall
And I can't get over it
I slip into the false again
And I said oh, no, I know I've been a fool
And I said whoa, no, I fell in love with you
And I said oh, no, I know I've been a fool when I said
Sweet Delilah, can't deny
That she was happy long ago
Twenty-five and full of life
The more I begged her not to know
White paint up on the walls
Pretty pictures of the day
I slipped into the false again
I said woah, no, I know I've been a fool
And I said whoa, no, I fell in love with you
And I said whoa, no, I know I've been a fool when I said
Oh, yeah
And I said whoa, no, I know I've been a fool
And I said whoa, no, 'cause I fell in love with you
And I said whoa, no, well I know I've been a fool and I said
Oh, no, I know I've been a fool
And I said, Lord knows that I fell in love with you
I said oh, no, well I know I've been a fool and I said
