Who are you kidding with that
Smug look on your face'
It makes me so angry you act that way
Bat you eyes tell a few white lies
And get your way, oh

Going downhill on an uphill slope
And with every jab you slice the rope
You laugh out loud
But you know it's not a joke

(Chorus)
Deli-Delilah how long will you run
Keeping all the pain inside'
Deli-Delilah There's love to fill you up
Give your life a sweet desire
To cool the fire
Well hey how about it'

So what's the pain that you hide today'
The closet rattles you run away
You want the others to hurt like you hurt
And with every notch upon your door
You're one step closer than before
But you're headed nowhere
On an endless shore

(Chorus)

I know it's so hard to fathom
From your point of view
Girl the need in you
To walk away from the pain inside
Oh, at least just try

Deli-Delilah how long will you run
Keeping all the pain inside
Deli-Delilah There's love to fill you up
Give your life a sweet desire
To fly away
To a brighter, brighter day
