[Verse 1]
Sweet Delilah, come inside
And won't you mend my broken bones?
The more that I get tossed 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

[Chorus]
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"
And I said

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I said "Whoa, 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"
And I said
Oh, yeah
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
