SWEET DELILAH
BY STEPHEN T. WEEKS
(C) 1991 - 2005
I WANT TO LOVE YOU, BUT YOU WON'T LET GO
I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE
YOU THINK THAT FULL MOON LOOKS LIKE PARADISE?
WAIT 'TILL YOU'VE SEEN THE OTHER SIDE
I LIVE TO LOVE YOU MORE EACH DAY
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR PEOPLE SAY, HEY...
SWEET DELILAH, PLEASE DON'T SAY WE'RE THROUGH BECAUSE I
CAN'T DENY YOU, THE THINGS YOU DO ARE THRILLING ME
I WANT TO BUY YOU, EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU NEED
MY SEET DELILAH, I LOVE YA TILL MY LIFETIME SLIPS AWAY
I WANNA TOUCH YOU, IT WOULD FEEL SO FINE
I WANNS KISS YOU WHEN YOU TEASE ME
I WANNA TASTE YOUR LIPS AND LET YOU KNOW
MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE
I LIVE, TO LOVE YOU MORE EACH DAY
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR PEOPLE SAY, HEY...
SWEET DELILAH, PLEASE DON'T SAY WE'RE THROUGH BECAUSE I
CAN'T DENY YOU, THE THINGS YOU DO ARE PLEASING ME
I WANNA BUY YOU, EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU NEED
MY SWEET DELILAH, I LOVE YOU TILL MY LIFETIME SLIPS AWAY
SLIPS AWAY
I THINK THAT LOVE IS SWEET, DON'T YOU WANT MINE?
PLEASE TOUCH ME PLEASE TAKE ME, BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND!
SWEET DELILAH YOU THRILL ME THOUGH I KNOW YOUR HEART IS BLIND
SWEET DELILAH PLEASE TAKE ME BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND!
I WANNA LOVE BUT YOU WON'T LET GO
I WANNA KISS YOU WHEN YOU TEASE ME
I WANNA TASTE YOUR LIPS AND LET YOU KNOW
MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE
