My husband and I have been separated for 11 months. He is a guitar player (hobby - he's an electrician by trade) and he said this is the newest song he's learned to play. We have only just recently started trying to be friends. Our separation has been very messy. He's asked me to listen to the song because it's very close to how he feels. Problem is, I don't really listen to the radio. I have no idea who sings it or if the lyrics are nice or not so nice. Anyone know?

well, the song's by Plain White T's... and here are the lyrics, it was a no.1 song on the billboard a couple of weeks ago... it IS really nice...
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 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'll 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.

"No Sugar" and some Mother Nature song The Guess Who "Sgt Pepper" and "With a Little Help from My Friends" Robert Palmer had a series of three songs about Sally in the Alley. I think the guys from Little Feat did the backing tracks.

I won't post the lyrics because someone already has, but I just wanted to say that that's interesting that that's the song he chose. It seems more like a beginning than an end to me, so maybe it's a good sign. I wish you the best of luck!

I have to admit I much prefer the Tom Jones song of the same name that came out in the late 1960s. The two are not the same song.

I know the song, I hate it like death itself. but if he feels that way toward you, he probably wants to get back together, it's the Plain White T's and I hope I never hear from them again.
