Lyrics : Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
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
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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...

Lyrics : Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
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
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Hey there, Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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 we get through
The world will never, ever be the same
And you're to blame
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ho-oh, woah-oh, woah oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh, woah oh-oh oh-woah
Oh oh-woah oh-oh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Delilah by Tom Jone
"Delilah" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in December 1967. The lyrics were written by Barry Mason, and the music by Les Reed, who also contributed the title and theme of the song. It earned Reed and Mason the 1968 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
Although the song is a soulful number set in triple metre, the underlying genre may be considered to be a power ballad, rising to a pitch of A4 on the final note. Produced by Peter Sullivan, Jones' version features a big-band accompaniment set to a flamenco rhythm. Flamenco was a surprising choice, since there is no reference to Spain anywhere in the song. There are similarities to the plot of the opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet, in which the soldier, Don José, stabs gypsy girl, Carmen, to death when she tells him she is leaving him for another man.
The song tells the story of a man who passes his girlfriend's window and sees her inside making love to another man. He waits outside all night, and then confronts her in the morning, only to have her laugh in his face. He stabs her to death, and then waits for the police to come break down the door and arrest him. The lyrics unfold from the killer's point of view, and are filled with his, often contradictory, emotions. He speaks of Delilah in possessive terms, but also refers to himself as her "slave." He asks his dead girlfriend to "forgive" him, but still clearly sees himself as having been wronged by her.
When Jones performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show, in 1968[2] the censors (unsuccessfully) attempted to insist that the line "At break of day when the man drove away" be changed to "At break of day I was still 'cross the way", as the original version implied he had spent the night with Delilah. Jones later described the proposed change as "such bullshit".[3][4]
In a two-year court case in the High Court of Justice, 1983 -M- No.1566, Barry Mason's ex-wife Sylvan Whittingham, the daughter of Bond film Thunderball screenwriter, Jack Whittingham, claimed she had written half the lyrics of "Delilah" and several other songs. The legal battle was settled out of court in 1986

Lyrics
Hey it's Delilah
It's so lonely in the city
you're a thousand miles away
telling your new girl she's so pretty
as you should
I miss when what we had was good it was so good
hey its Delilah I know I shouldn't be calling
just know every time I see your posts
my heart just keeps on falling
you're with her
and I miss the guy I knew you were
please don't love her
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me
Hey its Delilah
getting by's been pretty hard
because every time that I see your face
I hear the old guitar
you played for me
the song's you wrote you sang to me
just a memory
Hey its Delilah
sorry if I am a bother
but I just had to call to say
I ran into your father
on the street
he spoke of you he was so sweet
like you, so sweet
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me
a thousand miles is pretty far
but nothing breaks my soul and heart
like watching you forget each part of us
my friends they all make fun of me
cause they don't know why I cant see
that you moved on and I wasn't in a rush
listen I can promise you
that I'll no longer bother you
cause I know that you wont love me as much
as your new crush
hey its Delilah
treat her good and let her know
she's the one you'll always run to
and she'll never be alone
guess its my fault
losing you was my fucking fault
please tell me why you never called
I'm broken and I feel so small
I'm in withdrawal
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
what you do to me

Backing Band – The Stylers
------------------------
"Delilah" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in December 1967.
The lyrics were written by Barry Mason, and the music by Les Reed, who also contributed the title and theme of the song.
It earned Reed and Mason the 1968 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
Music and lyrics
Although the song is a soulful number set in triple metre, the underlying genre may be considered to be a power ballad in the British ballad tradition.
Produced by Peter Sullivan, Jones's version features a big-band accompaniment set to a flamenco rhythm.
The pitch of the final note is A4.
Flamenco was a surprising choice, since there is no reference to Spain anywhere in the song. Possibly, it was because of similarities to the plot of "Carmen", in which Don José stabs Carmen to death when she tells him she is leaving him for another man.
The song tells the story of a man who passes his girlfriend's window and sees her inside making love to another man.
He waits outside all night, and then confronts her in the morning, only to have her laugh in his face. He stabs her to death, and then waits for the police come to break down the door and arrest him. The lyrics unfold from the killer's point of view, and are filled with his, often contradictory, emotions.
He speaks of Delilah in possessive terms, but also refers to himself as her "slave."
He asks his dead girlfriend to "forgive" him, but still clearly sees himself as having been wronged by her.
When Jones performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show, the censors insisted that the line "At break of day when the man drove away" be changed to "At break of day I was still 'cross the way", as the original version implied he had spent the night with Delilah.
Jones later described the change as "such bullshit".
In a two-year court case in The High Court of Justice, 1983 -M- No.1566 , Mason's ex-wife Sylvan Whittingham, the daughter of Bond film Thunderball screenwriter, Jack Whittingham, claimed she had written half the lyrics of "Delilah" and several other songs.
She is registered as a songwriter on "Delilah".
Success
Tom Jones' recording reached No. 1 in the charts of several countries, including Germany and Switzerland.
It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth-best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15.

------------------------
"Delilah" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in December 1967.
The lyrics were written by Barry Mason, and the music by Les Reed, who also contributed the title and theme of the song.
It earned Reed and Mason the 1968 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
Music and lyrics
Although the song is a soulful number set in triple metre, the underlying genre may be considered to be a power ballad in the British ballad tradition.
Produced by Peter Sullivan, Jones's version features a big-band accompaniment set to a flamenco rhythm.
The pitch of the final note is A4.
Flamenco was a surprising choice, since there is no reference to Spain anywhere in the song. Possibly, it was because of similarities to the plot of "Carmen", in which Don José stabs Carmen to death when she tells him she is leaving him for another man.
The song tells the story of a man who passes his girlfriend's window and sees her inside making love to another man.
He waits outside all night, and then confronts her in the morning, only to have her laugh in his face. He stabs her to death, and then waits for the police come to break down the door and arrest him. The lyrics unfold from the killer's point of view, and are filled with his, often contradictory, emotions.
He speaks of Delilah in possessive terms, but also refers to himself as her "slave."
He asks his dead girlfriend to "forgive" him, but still clearly sees himself as having been wronged by her.
When Jones performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show, the censors insisted that the line "At break of day when the man drove away" be changed to "At break of day I was still 'cross the way", as the original version implied he had spent the night with Delilah.
Jones later described the change as "such bullshit".
In a two-year court case in The High Court of Justice, 1983 -M- No.1566 , Mason's ex-wife Sylvan Whittingham, the daughter of Bond film Thunderball screenwriter, Jack Whittingham, claimed she had written half the lyrics of "Delilah" and several other songs.
She is registered as a songwriter on "Delilah".
Success
Tom Jones' recording reached No. 1 in the charts of several countries, including Germany and Switzerland.
It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth-best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15.
