The Rolling Stones - "Foreign Tongues" Albüm Şarkı Sözleri (2026)

 

Modern Çağın Melankolisi: The Rolling Stones ve "Foreign Tongues" Üzerine Bir İnceleme

2026 yılına damgasını vuran bu çalışma, grubun köklerine sadık kalan ancak modern dünyanın karmaşasını, teknolojik yabancılaşmayı ve kişisel çöküşleri merkezine alan oldukça karanlık bir yolculuğu temsil ediyor. Albüm, sadece bir dizi şarkıdan ibaret değil; bir çürümenin, arayışın ve kaçınılmaz sonların hikayesi.

"Foreign Tongues", dinleyiciyi ilk dakikadan itibaren sarsıcı bir ritim ve söz dizilimiyle içine çekiyor. Albümün genel atmosferi, **belirsizlik, tutku ve toplumsal eleştiri** arasında gidip gelen, zaman zaman sertleşen, zaman zaman ise duygusal bir kırılganlığa bürünen bir yapıya sahip. Yılların getirdiği tecrübe ile modern hayatın dijital ve fiziksel yıkımı bu albümde ustalıkla harmanlanmış.

### Şarkı İncelemeleri

### Rough And Twisted

 * **Ana Tema:** Çıkışsızlık, arayış ve toplumsal uyumsuzluk.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün açılış parçası, belirsiz bir geleceğe ve kaotik bir dünyaya duyulan arzuyu yansıtıyor. Metaforik olarak kullanılan yolculuk, bireyin ait olma arayışını simgeliyor. "Rancid rice and bones" ve "acrid and toxic" gibi ifadeler, dünyayı kirli ve doyurucu olmayan bir yer olarak tanımlarken; "foreign tongues" (yabancı diller) vurgusu, iletişimsizliği ve ortak bir paydada buluşamamanın yarattığı yabancılaşmayı vurguluyor.

### In The Stars

 * **Ana Tema:** Kadercilik ve kaçınılmaz yazgı.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Şarkı, insanların kontrol edemediği güçlere olan teslimiyetini anlatıyor. "It's in the stars" nakaratı, bireysel iradenin ötesindeki bir otoriteyi simgeliyor. Şarkıda yer alan "sickness in the land" (topraktaki hastalık) ifadesi, içinde bulunulan dönemin genel ruh halini, belirsizliği ve yaklaşan tehlikeyi hissettiren güçlü bir betimleme olarak dikkat çekiyor.

### Jealous Lover

 * **Ana Tema:** Toksik bağlılık ve sahiplenme arzusu.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** İnsan ilişkilerindeki hastalıklı sahiplenme duygusunu merkeze alan parça, özgürlük ihtiyacı ile kontrol altında tutulma korkusu arasındaki çatışmayı işliyor. "Emerald green" (zümrüt yeşili) benzetmesiyle kıskançlığın yıkıcı etkisine vurgu yapılırken, "my own guillotine" (kendi giyotinim) ifadesi, bu aşkın artık fiziksel ve zihinsel bir yıkım aracına dönüştüğünü gözler önüne seriyor.

### Mr Charm

 * **Ana Tema:** Yüzeysellik ve manipülasyon.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Toplumsal maskeler ve çekiciliğin ardındaki boşluk üzerine kurulu bir eleştiri. Şarkıdaki karakter, dışarıdan hayranlık uyandırıcı bir figür gibi görünse de aslında kendi yalnızlığında kaybolmuş bir yapıda. "Life's too short for just making money" diyerek materyalizme meydan okurken, aynı zamanda bu boşluğu tüketim ile doldurmaya çalışan modern bireyi ironik bir dille eleştiriyor.

### Divine Intervention

 * **Ana Tema:** Dini ve dünyevi olan arasındaki belirsizlik.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Şarkı, inancın ve koruma arzusunun dünyevi kaos karşısında yetersiz kaldığını savunuyor. "Divine intervention is out of the question" dizeleri, ilahi bir müdahalenin beklenmemesi gerektiğini ve insanın kendi kaderini, yani "flames" (alevler) içinde dans ederek kendi belirlemesi gerektiğini vurguluyor. Hayatın bir "gambling game" (kumar oyunu) olduğu vurgusu albümün genel karamsar ancak gerçekçi tonuyla örtüşüyor.

### Ringing Hollow

 * **Ana Tema:** İdeallerin yitimi ve toplumsal çöküş.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Özgürlük sembolünün (Lady Liberty) artık işlevini yitirdiği, yıpranmış ve sahte bir dünyaya dair bir ağıt. "Ringing hollow" (boş çınlama) ifadesi, toplumdaki seslerin artık bir anlam ifade etmediğini, sadece yankılandığını belirtiyor. Şarkı, modern dünyadaki siyasi ve sosyal dokunun çatlaklarını gözler önüne sermekte oldukça başarılı.

### Never Wanna Lose You

 * **Ana Tema:** Kaybetme korkusu ve bağlanma arzusu.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün en duygusal noktalarından biri olan bu parça, tüm bu karanlığın ve karmaşanın ortasında, insana tutunma çabasını anlatıyor. Değerli olan şeylerin (sanat eserleri, para, anılar) bir anlam ifade etmediği noktada, sevilen birine duyulan muhtaçlık öne çıkıyor. "Please don't make me crawl" (lütfen beni süründürme) yalvarışı, gururun tamamen bir kenara bırakıldığı teslimiyeti temsil ediyor.

### Hit Me In The Head

 * **Ana Tema:** Varoluşsal yorgunluk ve gerçeklikten kaçış.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Fiziksel ve ruhsal acının, hayal kırıklığının yarattığı uyuşukluğu anlatıyor. Kişinin artık hissetmemek için bir dış uyarıcıya (darbeye) ihtiyaç duyması, duyarsızlaşmanın zirvesini temsil ediyor. "I'll go a lot quicker if you hit me in the head" cümlesi, acıdan kurtulmak için en kesin yolun bir tür "kapanış" olduğunu simgeliyor.

### You Know I'm No Good

 * **Ana Tema:** Kişisel hatalar ve öz yıkım.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Geçmişin hataları ve sadakatsizlik üzerine bir hesaplaşma. Şarkıdaki karakter, kendi kusurlarının ve manipülatif doğasının farkında. "You know I'm no good" diyerek bir nevi itirafta bulunuyor ve ilişkiyi kendi elleriyle yıktığını kabul ediyor.

### Some Of Us

 * **Ana Tema:** İtaat ve çaresizlik.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Toplumdaki sınıfların veya güç dengesinin yarattığı eziklik üzerine kurulu bir parça. "Some of us are on our knees" ifadesi, teslimiyetin evrenselliğini ve bir şeyleri elde etmek için yalvaran insanların ortak kaderini anlatıyor.

### Covered In You

 * **Ana Tema:** Takıntı ve özgürlüğün kaybı.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Birine veya bir duruma duyulan obsesif bağlılığın, bireyi tamamen ele geçirmesi. Kişi artık kendi kimliğini kaybedip başka birinin etkisine (covered in you) girmiş durumda. Parçadaki "autocrats" (otokratlar) göndermesi ise, bireysel takıntının toplumun genelindeki baskıcı yönetimlerle paralellik gösterdiğini ima ediyor.

### Side Effects

 * **Ana Tema:** Bağımlılık ve kimyasal çözümler.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Modern insanın stresle başa çıkmak için sarıldığı kimyasalların yan etkileri üzerine sert bir anlatı. "Is it real or is it chemical?" (gerçek mi yoksa kimyasal mı?) sorusu, modern hayatın gerçekliğinin ne kadarının yapay olduğunu sorgulatan albümün en vurucu sorusu olarak öne çıkıyor.

### Back In Your Life

 * **Ana Tema:** Pişmanlık ve kaçırılan fırsatlar.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Albümü noktalayan bu parça, geçmişe duyulan özlemi ve geri dönülemeyecek bir noktada olma duygusunu işliyor. İletişimsizliğin ve sessizliğin hakim olduğu final, albümün başındaki arayışın hüsranla sonuçlandığını gösteriyor.

### Beautiful Delilah

 * **Ana Tema:** Gözlemcilik ve hayranlık.

 * **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün kapanışına doğru yerleştirilen bu dinamik parça, karmaşanın içindeki "karşı konulmaz" olanı temsil ediyor. Diğer parçaların aksine daha gözlemci bir tavırla, hayatın akışı içindeki bir karakterin tasvirini sunuyor.

"Rough And Twisted"

(released as The Cockroaches)


Yeah, why don't you drive me

Down that rough and twisted road?

Why don't you guide me

'Cause I don't know which way to go?


Promise to take me

Yeah, to where the water glows

Somewhere, somewhere down to Puerto Rico

Where the tide just ebbs and flows


Flash me all your jewelry, poetry, and friends

Promise me a dance like Nijinsky

Nothing, nothing, nothing but a false pretense


Yeah, all you feed me was just rancid rice and bones

All I drank was muddy water

As lonely as a saxophone


Why don't you take me

To where I wanna go?

To Natchez, Mississippi, Sicily, and Rome


You just took me to a flyblown town

In the back of nowhere

Smell was acrid and toxic

Couldn't breathe the air


The only club was called Conspiracy

They didn't like me much

What they wanted was tyranny

And all that crazy, crazy fucked-up stuff


Why don't you drive me?

Take me where you wanna go


Yeah, why don't you take me

Down this rough and twisted road?


Yes, why don't you teach me

Teach me all those foreign tongues?


Yeah, why don't you take me

'Cause I'm deaf and blind and dumb?


Yeah, drive me

Yeah, drive me

Where I wanna go

Drive me

Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna go

"In The Stars"


Some people seek their fortune on the turn of a card

Or throwing some bones in a whiskey glass

'Cause if you wanna seek your fortune, need a lot of luck

I was standing there when the lightning struck


I feel a heavy hand

Tangling with my plans


It's in the stars, it's our destiny

It's in the stars, written you and me

It's in the stars, it's no mystery

It's in the stars, written you and me


Well, there's a poisonous cloud, there's a sickness in the land

All the judges in their robes got their rubber stamps

Well, do you wanna dance till the roof caves in?

Yeah, and the guitars scream and the choir still sings


I feel a heavy hand

Tangling with my plans


It's in the stars, it's our destiny

It's in the stars, written you and me

It's in the stars, there's no mystery

It's in the stars, it's just you and me


Yeah, it's in the stars, it's our destiny

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's in the stars, written you and me, yeah

Yeah, it's in the stars, there's no mystery

"Jealous Lover"


Listen to me

Yeah, yeah


You said you'd let me live my life

No fetters and no chains

I believed your every word

Now your tune has changed

One day after coffee

You fixed me with a stare

And said where were you on Friday night?

Tell me who was there?


Well the only problem is

Well the only problem is

You're such a part of me


Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

And you pray like a mantis

You're emerald green

Hands off jealous lover

The joke's right on me

You're clinging like ivy

You're choking a tree


We were once so generous

Sharing secrets of the heart

Now the fruit is turning sour

Got a bad taste in my mouth

You can't control the ocean

You can't control the waves

You can't control the shadows

Flickering in my cave


'Cause there's just one thing

Well there's just one thing

They'll only be a half of me, yeah


Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

Your eyes full of envy

And you're emerald green

Hands off jealous lover

Your words harsh and mean

You pray like a mantis

You're feeding off me


Let it go, let it go, let it go, now

Let it go, let it go, let it go, now

Come on

(Let it go, let it go, let it go)

Hand off me

(Let it go, let it go, let it go)

You got to let me go baby

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Come on, come on baby


Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

And you pray like a mantis

You're emerald green

Hands off jealous lover

The joke's right on me

The pearls 'round your neck

They don't make you a queen

Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

Your eyes are so cutting

You're my own guillotine

Hands off jealous lover

Your words harsh and mean

You pray like a mantis

You're feeding off me

"Mr Charm"


I know we've never met, but you seem to know my name

Did you hear bad things about me? That would be a crying shame

If you look into my eyes, if you peer into my face

Can you read the good and see the bad? Don't have to be afraid


Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Well, I would never, never, never, never do you harm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm


Life's too short for just making money

Show me how to spend it, honey

Life's too short to waste it living on your own

Life's too short, nothing lasts forever

Can't be bought, help me bring you pleasure

Life's too short to waste it living on your own


I could show you places that you have never seen

And fill your mind with images of tantalising dreams

And caves full of crystals, shot through with pink and green

And No Man's Land in the darkest days of 1916


Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

I would never, never, never, never do you harm

Don't have to be afraid, don't have to be alarmed


Life's too short for just making money

Ain't no fool, ain't nobody's monkey

Life's too short to waste it living on your own

Life's too short, nothing lasts forever

Can't be bought, help me bring you pleasure

Life's too short to waste it living on your own


When I was oh-so-young, I used to want to go to Mars

And burn the rubber on the road

And drive around in fancy cars

When who would take you into space?

Who would you really trust?

Is it Boeing, is it NASA, is it mad mogul Mr. Musk?

Now I'm older, I would like to ask you if tonight

We could stay at home, you see, I'm really quite polite

I would make you cocktails, pour you wine, you're obviously so erudite

Do anagrams spew epigrams?

I don't give a damn, Madame


Life's too short for just making money

Show me how to spend it with you, honey

Life's too short to waste it living on your own

Life's too short, nothing lasts forever

Can't be bought, help me bring you pleasure

Life's too short to waste it living all alone

Call me Mr. Charm!


Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

I think that you'd be the perfect woman on my arm

Don't have to be afraid, don't have to be alarmed

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Don't have to be afraid, don't have to be alarmed

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

Call me Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm, Mr. Charm

"Divine Intervention"


Yeah!


Walking down the street in New York City

A sandwich bar at the end of the world at night

I looked up and saw the bare end ass of Scotland

Scrambling to four poles in the sky

Watch them fly!


But meanwhile we just keep on running

Going to the football every Saturday night


Yeah!

Divine intervention

Is out of the question

I go to dance in the flames, yeah

Divine intervention

Is out of the question

Life is a gambling game

It's a gambling game


Driving down an alley in a rundown part of Hollywood

Saw her neon light up the side of the sign

Through the gloom I asked her, "What's my future?"

Well, she threw up and then broke down and cried

Tears in her eyes

But I kept moving on to silver head

To play guitar with a brand-new friend of mine


Yeah!

Divine intervention

Is out of the question

I go to dance in the flames, yeah

'Cause divine intervention

Is out of the question

Life is a gambling game

It's a gambling game


Yeah!

Divine intervention

Is out of the question

I go to dance in the flame, yeah

Divine intervention

Won't give you protection

Life is a gambling game


Yeah

Oh, yeah

Come on, yeah


Mmm, when the walls cave in

And the lights go dim

And I drag you out again

Well, dystopian values are too hot to handle

And I'm going out in a blaze

Can we run any faster?

It's a total disaster

I, I, I'm going down in the flames

Yeah, when they try to arrest you

I'll come to your rescue

Life is a gambling game

"Ringing Hollow"


Well, I was madly in love with you

Before we ever met

I saw all your movies

I smoked your cigarettes

I drove down your highway

To the mountain top

I spent all my money

Putting quarters in your old jukebox


It's ringing hollow

It's ringing deep

It's ringing loud

And there's always a scoundrel

Trying to whip up the crowd

What do you think about that?

The clocks never gonna turn back

Lady Liberty don't look so good

When she's wearing a frown


And I wandered the cities

And I hit all the bars

I drove through the suburbs

And I lounged in the malls

Let the dreamers get the dream they want

My favorite joke

So pass around the fenty

Pass around the coke


It's ringing hollow

It's ringing deep

It's ringing loud

And there's always a king

Trying to pick up the crown

But what do you think about that?

They took away the welcome mat

Lady Liberty don't look so good

When there's a tear in her gown


And I drove through the desert

With the dust in my face

And I lived outside of Dallas

Rundown shack of a place

I was handcuffed and arrested

It don't make no sense

Went up to the White House

Shook hands with the president


Well, it's ringing hollow

It's ringing deep

It's ringing loud

When voices are stifled

I wanna scream out loud

Liberty's not looking too well

She's got another crack in her bell

Lady Liberty don't look so good

When she's wearing a scowl

What do you think about that?

What do you think about that?

There's no turning back

Buy me a brand new hat

Never Wanna Lose You"


Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you


Gold dust through my fingers

Watched it pour away

Money, blood and treasure

Where it's gone, I just can't say

Snapshots in my shoebox

Friends I can't recall

Pollocks and Picassos, curling up

And falling off my kitchen wall


But I never wanna lose you

I never wanna see you run away

I never wanna lose you

Promise me, promise me

You're always gonna stay

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you


Don't worry over money

What if they took the cars?

And all the banks went busted

I'd have to sell off fifty old, fancy guitars

We could move to Naples

Living in a run-down trailer park

Would we be like boxers facing up and shaping up and going

Eyeball to eyeball to eyeball?


I never wanna lose you

I never wanna see you run away

I never will refuse you

Even if this world falls into decadent disarray


Love can be confusion

And nothing goes your way

At least I can amuse you

Like lovers in a play

And love is always madness

Graffiti on the wall

Please don't make me crawl

Please don't make me crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl


I never wanna lose you

I never wanna see you run away

I never wanna use you

Promise me, promise me

You're always gonna stay


Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never will accuse you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never walk away

Never wanna lose you

Never walk away

Never wanna lose you

Never, never, never wanna lose

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

Never wanna lose you

"Hit Me In The Head"


I don't care if I live or die

I don't care if I laugh or cry

Give me a song that I can't sing

Give me a bell that I can't ring


Baby, take a little chunk of my heart

One of these days gonna fall down dead

And I'll go a lot quicker if you hit me in the head

Yeah, I'll go a lot quicker if you hit me in the head


Well

Wake up in the morning and you wanna make me puke

And I take a lot of shit, a lot of abuse


Baby, you took a little chunk of my heart

One of these days gonna fall down dead

And I'll go a lot quicker if you hit me in the head

And I go a lot quicker and I go a lot quicker and I


I feel like I'm hit by a London bus

And my nerves are shot, I'm all shook up


Baby, you took a little chunk of my heart

One of these days gonna fall down dead

And I'll go a lot quicker if you hit me in the head

And I go a lot quicker if you hit me in the head

And I go a lot quicker when I go a lot quicker when I

Yeah, I'm gonna see red

And I go a lot quicker if ya hit me in the head


Oh, come on, baby

Hit me in the head

"You Know I'm No Good"

(originally by Amy Winehouse)


Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt

Your rolled-up sleeves and your skull t-shirt

You say, "What did you do with her today?"

And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray


'Cause you're my girl, I'm your guy

Hand me your Stella and fly

By the time I'm out the door

You tear me down like Roger Moore


'Cause I

Cheated myself

Like I knew I would

I told you I was trouble

You know that I'm no good


Upstairs in bed with my ex-girl

She's in a place in her own world

Thinking of you in the final throes

This is when my buzzer goes


Run out to meet ya, chips and pita

You say, "When we're married" 'cause you're not bitter

"There'll be none of her no more"

I cried for you on the kitchen floor


'Cause I

Cheated myself

Like I knew I would

I told you I was trouble

You know that I'm no good


Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain

We're like how we were again

I'm in the tub, you're on the seat

Lick your lips as I soak my feet


Then you notice little carpet burns

My stomach drops, and my guts churn

You shrug, and it's the worst

You truly stuck your knife in first


I cheated myself

Like I knew I would

I told you I was trouble

You know that I'm no good, yeah


I cheated myself

Yeah, like I knew I would

I told you I was trouble

You know I'm no good


No good, no good

No, no damn good, no damn good

You should know, you should know by now

You know I'm no good

"Some Of Us"


Everybody thinks you're beautiful

Look at them all stand and stare

But baby, I just don't care

Look how they all look up to ya

Yeah, just dying for a smile

Yeah, you make 'em wait for quite a while


Yeah, 'cause all we need's a little loving

You pull the heart right out of me

You know that we can't have everything


Some of us are on our knees

Yeah, some of us are on our knees


You drift by so easily

I couldn't even catch your eye

Yeah baby, I wouldn't even try


Yeah, 'cause all we need's a little loving

Yeah, just a hug or just a squeeze

You know that we can't get everything


But some of us are on our knees

Some of us are on our knees

Begging for it

Some of us are on our knees


Oh yeah

All we need's a little loving

Pull the heart right out of me

You know that we can't get everything


But some of us are on our knees

Some of us are on our knees

Begging baby, some of us are on our knees

Covered in you

Coming a bit unscrewed

Covered in you

I need a place to calm me down

But this town is so noisy

I need to drown my troubles somewhere

You're my love

You're the coat I can't take off

I'm aware of your affairs

And your perfume I can't shake off

I can never break off

The memory that's following me like a shadow

I'm always dreaming of your skin so soft

And ya hit me in the chest with your arrow

In my marrow

You're painted on my body all silver and gold

And purple and pink and your brain stone cold

This never gets old

Breeding like a swarm of dirty rats

With their

Missiles on parade and they're

Wreathed in gold brocade

Opposition plays charades

They must always be obeyed

You know I'm gonna wait till the panic passes

Wait till you see the whites of their asses

Me and you were separated like Korea

There's so many knots we can't undo, we can't untie

You're always trying to give me bad reviews


Covered in you

You were born on my doorstep

That's no coincidence

It all makes perfect sense

You know it's true

'Cause I'm covered in

You upset my equilibrium

Make me take way too much lithium

So goodbye lover, wish me luck

I'm gonna vanish down the highway in my truck

'Cause I couldn't really give a monkey's


Covered in you

Bent out of skew

Coming a bit unglued

Smothered in blue

Broke the taboos

Coming a bit unscrewed

My mood is down and my tongue's gettin' rough

"Back In Your Life"


You smiled at me, I knew something was up

It was quicksilver hard to explain

You quoted some verse to me to show that you sparkled

I saw neurons go flash in my brain


It took quite a while

To figure out your style

Talking to you on the phone

It seems funny now

You can be close somehow

To someone that you don't really know

Yeah


What would it take to get back in your life?

I hate that I'm losing a friend

I tried making you laugh

I tried making you cry

Is this how our story will end?


We had a few drinks

Never touched, only looked

We shared pictures, your's were better than mine

But there was a moment

We knew we were hooked

It was only a matter of time


But when the passion came

We broke the porcelain

Secrets fell soft in the night

I smell your skin and hair

In the dawn, you disappeared

And you never even wrote me a line

Yeah


What would it take to get back in your life?

I hate that I'm losing a friend

I tried making you laugh

I tried making you cry

Is this how our story will end?

Yeah, is this how our love's gonna end?


Oh, what would it take to get back in your life?

It's deafening silence again

You see, the truth to be told

Is often served cold

Is this how our story will end?

Oh, I hate that I'm losing a friend

Yeah

Come on, Ronnie


Oh, what would it take?

What would it take?

I must have said sorry, sorry a thousand times, yeah

Yeah, am I, am I trash on your floor?

Since you showed me the door

And I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting for you to write me just one little line

One little line, yeah

Hey, you vanished in the city's haze

Yeah, you fading out like crazy

And never, never, never left no goodbye

"Beautiful Delilah"


Two, three and


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


My mama don't allow me

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night


Well, you are so tantalising, you just can't be true


Now, beautiful Delilah dressed in the latest styles

Swinging like a pendulum walking down the aisle

Deep romantic eyes

Speaks so low and smiles

Maybe she will settle down, marry after 'while


My mama don't allow me

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night


Well, you are so tantalising, you just can't be true


Beautiful Delilah, bathing in the Sun

An audience of seventeen and notice not a one

Local Casanova, who wouldn't be outdone

Let her steal his heart away and break it just for fun


My mama don't allow me

Staying around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night

Fool around all night


Well, you are so tantalising, you just can't be true
