I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind She was my woman As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind My, my, my Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah I could see, that girl was no good for me But I was lost like a slave that no man could free At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting I cross the street to her house and she opened the door She stood there laughing I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more My, my, my Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah So before they come to break down the door Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore She stood there laughing I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more My, my, my Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah So before they come to break down the door Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

A gravação de “Delilah” foi realizada em dezembro de 1967, marcando um dos primeiros sucessos internacionais de Tom Jones.
A letra da canção foi escrita por Barry Mason, enquanto a melodia foi composta por Les Reed, que também criou o título e o tema da música.
Em 1968, Les Reed e Barry Mason receberam o Ivor Novello Award na categoria “Best Song Musically and Lyrically” por “Delilah”.
A combinação da poderosa interpretação de Tom Jones com a composição de Reed e Mason transformou “Delilah” em um clássico frequentemente usado em shows ao vivo e eventos de entretenimento.
