Delilah
[Intro]
Ooh, Delilah
Ooh, Delilah

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you 'bout a place in a city
Where I just happen to be
I met a fine girl so pretty
I saw she was looking at me
I ain't too hip about the folks in the city
Though I thought I'll get her name
'Cause it was I, it would be a pity
To miss out on this dame
Introduced to me was Delilah (Delilah)
Right away, she reached for my hand (My hand)
And as we touched, a thrill went through me (Went through me)
That made me feel as though I was king of the land

[Verse 2]
Ooh, Delilah
I'm just a plain old country boy
Ain't had much fun in life, settle with joy
Ooh, Delilah
If you would only come with me
So happy I will be
I ain't got much money (Much money)
Just a farm on the outskirts of town (Of town)
Please don't think that this is funny (Is funny)
But with you I'd like to settle down
[Refrain]
Ooh, Delilah
Ooh, Delilah
Ooh, Delilah
Ooh, Delilah

[Outro]
I ain't got much money (Much money)
Just a farm on the outskirts of town (Of town)
Please don't think that this is funny (Is funny)
But with you I'd like to settle down
Ooh, Delilah, baby, baby, baby
(Ooh, Delilah) My, my, my, my, my
(Ooh, Delilah) Whoa, my, my, my, my
(Ooh, Delilah)
(Ooh, Delilah) Yeah, oh my, my
(Ooh, Delilah)
