By Plain White T's
'Hey There Delilah' is a pop ballad by the group Plain White T's - and their first big hit. It was first released in May of 2006, but it caught fire in the summer of 2007 and hit number one on July 28, 2007.
The inspiration for 'Hey There Delilah' was Delilah DiCrescenzo, a Columbia University student whom songwriter Tom Higgenson never dated.
The song originally appeared on the 2005 Plain White T's album 'All That We Needed'. With it's growing popularity, it was added as a bonus track to the more current 'Every Second Counts' album.
"Hey There Delilah" 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 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 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 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 know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there Delilah here's to you This ones 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. |
