Song lyrics
Hey there Delilah, 
What’s it like in New York City? 
I’m a thousand miles away, 
But girl tonight you look so pretty, 
Yes you do, 
Time Square can’t shine as bright as you, 
I swear it’s true. 

Hey there Delilah, 
Don’t you worry about the distance, 
I’m right there if you get lonely, 
Give this song another listen, 
Close your eyes, 
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise, 
I’m by your side. 

Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
What you do to me. 

Hey there Delilah, 
I know times are getting hard, 
But just believe me girl some day, 
I'll pay the bills with this guitar, 
We'll have it good, 
We'll have the life we knew we would, 
My word is good. 

Hey there Delilah, 
I’ve got so much left to say, 
If every simple song I wrote to you, 
Would take your breath away, 
I’d write it all, 
Even more in love with me you’d fall, 
We’d have it all. 

Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me. 

A thousand miles seems pretty far, 
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars, 
I’d walk to you if I had no other way, 
Our friends would all make fun of us, 
And we'll just laugh along because, 
We know that none of them have felt this way, 
Delilah I can promise you, 
That by the time that we get through, 
The world will never ever be the same, 
And you’re to blame. 

Hey there Delilah you be good, 
And don’t you miss me, 
Two more years and you’ll be done with school, 
And I'll be making history, 
Like I do, 
You’ll know it's all because of you, 
We can do whatever we want to, 
Hey there Delilah here's to you, 
This one’s for you. 

Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
What you do to me. 

Ohhh

This is one of my all-time favorite songs EVER!!! I love everything about it!! Keep up the great work, Plain White T's! Another song by them: Hate (I Really Don't Like You) is a pretty annoying song once you listen to it more than 5x, but this one never gets old!!

In reality, the lead singer of the T's DID love a girl named Delilah, and told her he had written a song about her when he actually hadn't. So over the next year or two he worked it out and finally wrote the thing...but by the time it was done they had both moved on. He told People mag that he had to imagine what he'd say to this girl if he DID love her.

Sort of takes the romance out if it, doesn't it?

I 3 EPPY! He is the man. Sure the lyrics are sweet and warm and you just want to cuddle up with this "Tom" character and listen to his soothing voice...but musically...any 8 year only could have written this song. Not impressed. Honestly, I wouldn't really call this music, and I'm not sorry.

i absolutely LOVE this song! wow, it's totally amazing, the best lovesong i've EVER heard. i wish someone wrote a song like this to me, aww, i would melt away i think. i listen to this song over and over again and just can't get enough of it.
plus, the video is great! really, mostly i've had enough of videos if i watch them twice, but this is so simple and yet so stunning, like the song itself, cool. i love it.

A pretty good song. It came too late for it to remind me exactly of a relationship... but it is like a memory at least... being a thousand miles away from him as it is...

I honestly have no idea why this song is so popular. The lyrics are cheesy and the guitar is annoyingly simple; anyone could have made the melody. The guy does have a good voice, but it can't save this song.

i cant believe people like this song. it's like two versus over and over and over again. i keep waiting to hear for some catchy chorus or for the song to pickup but it never comes. i was so psyched to hear it and so crushed when it was over. but i guess it is on MTV so lets all just act like sheople and love the hell out of this pos song

This song has one of those extremely annoying and stupid melodies that gets stuck in your head... and the instruments are pathetic and nearly nonexistant.

The lyrics are just stupid and repetitive, and so sickly sweet that I just want to shoot myself. I'm surpirsed he doesn't say something about him collapsing to the ground and kissing her feet.

The vocals are extremely whiney, horrible.

The song is all around horrible. I don't see why it's so popular...

my sister firtst showed me this song long before anyone else even liked it , the first time i heard it , i fell in love with it ,
while this song was popular , i had a long distance relationship with a guy,
this song became our song ,
i rewrote the song to fit our relationship & listened to hey there delilah constantly ,
the other day i pulled out my plain white Ts cd and when hey there delilah came on , i almost instantaniosly started bawling ,

i wanna thank plain white Ts for making such an incredible single!
