Oh her voice was liquid silver
And her eyes oh how they shone
And she whispered a promise to take me everywhere
I had dreamt but never known
As she closed the door behind me
Tied a ribbon ‘round my eyes
I decided there and then that to be blinded
Was the smallest sacrifice

Now I’m not the kind of man to wear my emotions
Like a sailor’s brave tattoo
Oh- oh Delilah
What’s a good man to do
With you?

Well she led me down a hallway
Past a half a dozen doors
And each one held a lady and a tiger
And she said, “The choice is yours”
‘Til at last we crossed the threshold
To a room with a single chair
Where she bound my hands with words of understanding
While I wept, she cut my hair

Now I’m not the kind of man to trade my salvation
For a taste of the old voodoo
Oh - oh Delilah
What’s a good man to do
With you?
Now I’m not the kind of man to trade my salvation
For a taste of the old voodoo
Oh - oh Delilah
What’s a good man to do?

I felt my spirit shake
I fell down upon my knees
She coiled ‘round me like a snake
And gave me reason to believe
I begged her to let me go
I begged her to set me free
But in the end I begged her
Do exactly what she pleased

Then she took the ribbon from me
Opened my eyes that I might see
And I looked in the face that stared out of the mirror
And I swear, it wasn’t me
All my faith now fallen from me
With the cuttings on the floor
And I heard my voice now just above a whisper
Begging, “Please, show me more”

And I’m not the kind of man to follow temptation
To the walls of Timbuktu
Oh-oh Delilah
What’s a good man to do
With you?

No I’m not the kind of man to follow temptation
To the walls of Timbuktu
Oh-oh Delilah
What’s a good man to do
Oh-oh Delilah
What’s a good man to do
With you?
