Delilah Lyrics

There's no end to the love you can give

When you change your point of view to underfoot

Very good: you may be flat but you're breathing



And there's no doubt

He's at home in his room

Probably watching porn of you from the fall

It's last call and you're the last one leaving



And you thought you could change the world

By opening your legs

Well it isn't very hard

Try kicking them instead



And you thought you could change his mind

By changing your perfume

To the kind his mother wore

Oh God, Delilah, why?

I never met a more impossible girl



In this same bar where you slammed down your hand

And said, "Amanda, i'm in love"

No you're not

You're just a sucker for the ones who use you

And it doesn't matter what I say or do

The stupid bastard's gonna have his way with you



You're an unrescuable schizo

Or else you're on the rag

'Cause if you take him back

I'm gonna lose my nerve

I never met a more impossible girl



At four o'clock he got off and you called up

"I'm down at Denny's on Route One

And you won't guess what he's done"

Is that a fact, Delilah?

Larry Tap let you in through the back

And use his calling card again for a quick hand of gin



You are impossible, Delilah

The princess of denial

And after seven years in advertising you are none the wiser



You're an unrescuable schizo

Or else you're on the rag

'Cause if you take him back

I'm gonna lose my nerve



He's gonna beat you like a pillow

You schizos never learn

And if you take him home

You'll get what you deserve

I never met a more impossible girl



So don't cry, Delilah

You're still alive, Delilah

You need a ride, Delilah?

Let's see how fast this thing can go
