Go
Delilah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What am I gonna do?
I let myself go

Nothing left to say
Take my breath away
Whispering your name
Tie me up in chains
No one puts it down like me

Strength I can't ignore
Make me beg for more
Climbing up the walls
Banging down the doors
Knowing that you hear my scream

But ooh
Your love's so cruel
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, ooh ooh
All the things you do
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, go, ooh

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
You filled my heart with a kiss
You give me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

Nothing left to say
Take my breath away
Whispering your name
Tie me up in chains
No one puts it down like me

Strength I can't ignore
Make me beg for more
Climbing up the walls
Banging down the doors
Knowing that you hear my scream

But ooh
Your love's so cruel
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, ooh ooh
All the things you do
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, go, ooh

Because who are you
To make me hmmm
And it's you ooh
And you go, and you go...

Ooh
Your love's so cruel
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, ooh ooh




All the things you do
You make me wanna go, go, go, go, go, go, ooh
