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.
 FINAL 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.
 Ohhh
