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

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!

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...

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
