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.

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 for 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

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 out to see you

By then, you'll be a doctor and I'll be a millionaire

Next to you.

Hey there, Delilah, here's to you, this one's for you

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.

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.
