"Beautiful Delilah" lyrics
Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passing by
Every time you see her, she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why
Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah, dressed in the latest styles
Swinging like a pendulum, walking down the aisle
Sees so many guys, speaks so low and mild
One day she will marry, settle down, after a while
Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah, bathing in the sun
Audience of 17, and noticed not a one
Local Casanova who wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, she break it just for fun
Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
Always gets a second look from fellas passing by
Every time you see her, she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why
Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah, dressed in the latest styles
Swinging like a pendulum, walking down the aisle
Sees so many guys, speaks so low and mild
One day she will marry, settle down, after a while
Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah, bathing in the sun
Audience of 17, and noticed not a one
Local Casanova who wouldn't be outdone
Let her steal his heart away, she break it just for fun
Betsy don't allow me, foolin' around with you
Well, you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true
