Talk Tonight by Oasis

I used to believe that Oasis was the biggest band in the world. This is during the late 90's as far as I remember. I knew the song titles, I knew the lyrics.

This song comes out of The Masterplan, a collection of Oasis B-sides...most of which were worthy enough to be released as A-sides. The song was the B-side to Some Might Say.





Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

I wanna talk tonight

How's It Going to Be by Third Eye Blind

Third Eye Blind's first album is a late 90's classic. I honestly believe that they made this mark with the self-titled debut. I wish that level of strength was carried to later albums. This song features a strong bass-line and great vocal performance form Stephan Jenkins.

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing
I wonder what are we fighting for
When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder is there anything
I'm going to miss
I wonder how it's going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be
When there's no one there to talk to
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
How's it going to be
Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in swings empty
Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me
I wonder how's it going to be
When it goes down
How's it going to be
When you're not around
How's it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
And how's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
And how's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion oblivion
How's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
How's it going to be
How's it going to be
How's it going to be

Esem by Yano

I listened to Yano's self-titled album today, which probably is one of the better works from the early 90's for OPM bands. I was still in elementary when this record was released, too young to realize what were some of the songs really about.



Patingin-tingin, di naman makabili
Patingin-tingin, di makapanood ng sine

Walang ibang pera, kundi pamasahe

Nakayanan ko lang, pambili ng dalawang yosi


Paamoy-amoy, di naman makakain

Busog na sa tubig
Gutom ay lilipas din
Patuloy ang laboy
Walang iisipin
Kailangang magsaya, kailangang magpahangin

Nakakainip ang ganitong buhay
Nakakainis ang ganitong buhay

Nakakainip ang ganitong buhay
Nakakainis ang ganitong buhay

Gumagabi na
Ako'y uuwi na

Tapos na ang saya
Balik sa problema
At bukas ng umaga
Uulitin ko pa ba
Ang kahibangang ito

Sa tingin ko hindi na

Nakakainip ang ganitong buhay

Nakakainis ang ganitong buhay
Nakakainip ang ganitong buhay
Nakakainis ang ganitong buhay

Nakakabaliw ang ganitong buhay
Di nakakaaliw ang ganitong buhay
Nakakabaliw ang ganitong buhay
Di nakakaaliw ang ganitong buhay
No... no no no

'Di Na Bale by Soapdish

This song pretty much sums up May 2010 and early part of June 2010 for me. I found out that I really didn't had a chance to win this girl's heart. Maybe I just had the wrong expectations. Buti na lang merong Soapdish. Probably in terms of Tagalog songs, Soapdish ranks with Eraserheads and Rivermaya, at least for me, in writing great memorable songs that I can relate to.



Gusto ko sanang sumama
Pero parang ayaw mo
Kanina ka pa di kumikibo
Gusto ko lang naman kasi
Makasama ka parang dati
Na tayong dalawa yung magkatabi

Ilang beses kong sinabi
Na nagsisi na ako
Pero parang lalong gumugulo
Naiinis ka na yata
Eh anong magagawa
Ayokong mapunta ka sa iba

Bigla kong naisip na hinde mo na ako gusto!
Bigla kong naisip na kailangan ko ang yakap mo!!!

Di na bale,
Walang mangyayari sa ganito
Uuwi na lang ako sa amin
Wala ng kulay,
Wala ng buhay ang mundo
Uuwi na lang ako

Ayokong nakikita, may kasama kang lalaki
Umiinom sa tabi-tabi
Ako'y nahihirapan at ako'y nasasaktan
Baka pwde pang pagusapan

Lahat ng sabihin ko'y hinde mo na pinakikinggan
Anong nangyari sa pagibig na walang hanggan?

Di na bale,
walang mangyayari sa ganito
Uuwi na lang ako sa amin
Wala ng kulay,
Wala ng buhay ang mundo
Uuwi na lang ako


Di na bale,
walang mangyayari sa ganito
Uuwi na lang ako sa amin
Wala ng kulay,
Wala ng buhay ang mundo
Uuwi na lang ako

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift

A great pop song for the masses song by an irresistible pretty girl. This song probably sports one of the most memorable music videos of all-time of the 2000's. The plot has been told in several teen movies, just look for it in youtube or your TV.




You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesn't get your humour like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin' for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin' the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin' to myself
Hey isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standin' by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Girl Be Mine By Francis Magalona

Girl Be Mine, along with Kaleidoscope World, is probably two of the best English songs that Francis M has ever written and captures what would probably be Francis M's creative peak. . The lyrics are just clever and the fact that he doesn't even rap rather sings in this song makes it even special. Every time I hear this song, it's just inspirational and wants me to just run!



Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Cause its a beautiful day now
To play now
As i close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
Cause I'm feeling kinda lonely
Would you be,
Could you be
My one and only

Took a train at a station
And almost lost my patience cause I was waiting
Damned rain delayed the train
Now I'm waitin' in vain
Just to see your face
Is this the one that I'm supposed to be afraid of?
Is this the one that I'm supposed to be ashamed of?
Hard as a rock not soft like play-do
Everytime I hear a song playing on the radio

Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
Cause, this is what i have to say
I feel so fine
So fine that it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you be mine?

And in my dream you are so real, so it seems
Inside my head a giant screen plays every scene
While I Scream I feel you every time I go to sleep
Wake up in the middle of the night and I weep
Gotta be mine
That girl is so fine
Girl be mine
Girl be mine
All it takes is a matter of time

And in my dream you are so real or so it seems
Inside my head a giant screen plays every scene
So you see I feel you every time I go to sleep
All it takes is a matter of time
Tell the truth
When you'll be mine

Sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Cause its a beautiful day now
To play now
As i close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know I'm feeling kinda lonely
could you be
would you be

Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine
So fine the it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you be mine

Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Cause it's a beautiful day now
To play now
And as i close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know I'm feeling kinda lonely
Could you be
Would you be
Could you be
Would you be
Could you be
Would you be
Be mine

Ang Ating Araw by Dicta License

How do you spell RATM in tagalog? Dicta License. They follow the same template, using militant lyrics sung in rap, with hard edge riffs and tight grooves minus Tom Morello's DJ'ing on a guitar. The songs are actually good.



Sisikat nang muli ang ating araw
Sa nayong may himig ng hanging
Hinipan ng banal
Tulad ng awit na pumipiglas sa
Kahon ng kundiman

Madalas ay reklamo lang
Ang bukang bibig
At di makita ang sakit na
Iyong pasan
Mas matalas ang dila kung
Mayroong galaw ng bisig
Paliparin ang malayang isip


Sisikat nang muli ang ating araw
Sa nayong may himig ng hanging
Hinipan ng banal
Tulad ng awit na pumipiglas sa
Kahon ng kundiman

Dinggin mo ang taway ng
Lupang pinagmulan
Nang kayamanan na di mo rin
Pala natitikman... natitikman... yeah
Kelan malilinis ang bahid ng dumi
(Hindi malaman) may'rong pag-asa ating inaasam


Sisikat nang muli ang ating araw
Sa layong may himig ng hanging
Hinipan ng banal
Tulad ng awit na pumipiglas sa
Kahon ng kundiman

C'mon now...

Ahh... here we go... ahh


Isa na namang awit ang tutuhog sa marurupok na puso
Lanta-lanta sa diwa at pag-asa ng umaga
Bukas loob silipin ang sarili
Balat, mukha, mata, dinggin ang huni
Pagkalipas ng ilang taon unti-unting aahon
Ang lipi ng lupa na napako sa kahapon
Walang pamagat alay kong alamat (alay kong alamat)
Hindi makakahon damdamin kong naisulat

Di mo ba naririnig, ang tinig ng lahat
Sabay-sabay, lumiliyab
Sisikat nang muli


Sisikat nang muli ang ating araw
Sa nayong may himig ng hanging
Hinipan ng banal
Tulad ng awit na pumipiglas sa
Kahon ng kundiman

Yeaahh...

Sisikat na muli...
Sisikat na muli...
Sisikat na muli...

Hemorrhage (In My Hands) by Fuel

Fuel was one of my favorite non-Nu Metal bands during college. I became a fan primarily because of this song, Hemorrhage. I saw it for a couple of times in Channel V and immediately looked for the Something Like Human album. I also looked for their first album, but I haven't been lucky so far.



Memories are just where you laid them
Drag the waters till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was there something you left behind?
Don't you remember anything i said when i said

Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands
Love lies bleeding

Hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you've left to go
She cries her life is like
Some movie black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries

Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands
Love lies bleeding

And I wanted
You turned away
You don't remember
But i do
You never even tried

Don't fall away...

I Miss You by Incubus

I'll just say what i feel as of the moment. I really miss you. I miss sending you text messages, I miss your replies. I miss watching movies with you. I miss looking at you when you're looking somewhere else. I miss you telling me your frustrations and how your day goes or how it went. I miss you listening to me... cause you really listened, at least that's how I felt.



To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, Utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.

I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you.

Piece of This by P.O.T.

A great song from one of the better bands to come out of the country. Too bad they only had one album. I just love listening to this song. The song starts of a sad mood, then I sense a feeling of redemption upon the end part of the song.



Farewell to my friends,
Thought I'd leave you all behind
My time is running
And I'm about to lose my mind again.

Now and then, I tremble all over
But I will carry the load upon my shoulder
But I know this could all be over
If only I could open my eyes

Is it loneliness?
Maybe emptiness?
Maybe melancholy?
Have a piece of this

Now I see the sunlight shining through
There's no reason to feel blue, but,
Now I know I'm going down,
I look all around me and laugh like a clown

Now and then, I tremble all over
But I will carry the load upon my shoulder
But I know this could all be over
If only I could open my eyes

Is it loneliness?
Maybe emptiness?
Maybe melancholy?
Have a piece of this

Can anybody help me when I'm down?
And everybody says i'm just a clown,
But now I know love will stick around
Cause I've been lost and found.

Now I see the sunlight shining through
There's no reason to feel blue, but,
When I know I'm going down,
I look all around me, know i won't frown

Now and then, I tremble all over
But I will carry the load upon my shoulder
But I know this could all be over
If only I could open my eyes

No more loneliness
No more emptiness
No more melancholy baby
Have a piece of this

Everyday I Love You by Boyzone

I was browsing thru my record collection and checked that I haven't logged this song in the blog. As far as I remember this was one of the last songs that Boyzone released before going a long hiatus. The title of the song says it all I guess. Good thing's boy bands exists, because they somehow are able to sing about things I really can't say for myself.



I don't know but I believe
That some things are meant to be
And that you'll make a better me
Everyday I love you

I never thought that dreams came true
But you showed me that they do
You know that I learn somethng new
Everyday I love you

Cause I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad
It's a smile when I get mad
All the little things I am
Everyday I love you

Everyday I love you boy
Everyday I love you
'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul

If I asked would you say yes?
Together we're the very best
I know that I am truly blessed
Everyday I love you
And I'll give you my best
Everyday I love you

Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty

I feel stupid today, that I somehow tweeted that I Feel Stupid.. and thus I remembered one of my favored songs from the the 2nd Matchbox Twenty album that shares the same title as the song.



I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing - and I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down?

Well I feel stupid, but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin' - I think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why you gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now?
It seems to me you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

I feel stupid, but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly, but I know I still turn you on
You've grown colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down?

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out?
We need to be together now
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

And now I'm cryin'
Isn't that what you want?
And I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't, no,
At times I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid
And I come undone
And I come undone

I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken

Well I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken
I come undone
I come undone in this mad season

In this mad season
It's been a mad season
Been a mad season

Ang Huling El Bimbo by The Eraserheads

For a while, I was already tired of this song... I even considered it already of the novelty variety. However when I listening to it recently, I just realized that this song is really a genius piece of music. Out of all the Eraserheads songs... this may probably the greatest song of them all. Everyone has their own version of Paraluman.



Kamukha mo si Paraluman
No'ng tayo ay bata pa
At ang galing-galing mong sumayaw
Mapa-Boogie man o Chacha

Ngunit ang paborito
Ay pagsayaw mo ng El Bimbo
Nakakaindak, nakakaaliw
Nakakatindig balahibo

Pagkagaling sa 'skwela ay didiretso na sa inyo
At buong maghapon ay tinuturuan mo ako

Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay

Naninigas aking katawan
'Pag umikot na ang plaka
Patay sa kembot ng bewang mo
At pungay ng 'yong mga mata

Lumiliwanag ang buhay
Habang tayo'y magkaakbay
At dahan-dahang dumudulas
Ang kamay ko sa makinis mong braso, hooh

Sana noon pa man ay sinabi na sa iyo, hoh
Kahit hindi na uso ay ito lang ang alam ko

Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay

La la la la, la la, la la, la la la

Lumipas ang maraming taon
'Di na tayo nagkita
Balita ko'y may anak ka na
Ngunit walang asawa

Tagahugas ka raw
Ng pinggan sa may Ermita
At isang gabi'y nasagasaan
Sa isang madilim na eskinita, hah

Lahat ng pangarap ko'y bigla lang natunaw
Sa panaginip na lang pala kita maisasayaw

Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay

La la la la, la la, la la, la la la

My Stupid Mouth by John Mayer

I just tried to relearn this song on bass tonight. Listening and reading through the lyrics made me realized that this is just like how the past 2 days have gone for me. I'm too stupid to be persistent to continue to try to talk to you... to the point that I'm already frustrating you. Yes sir, you may start calling me Captain Backfire.




My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change


Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon


We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly, An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what JUST slipped out and what went wrong


Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one


I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me


Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now... Starting now


One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire


I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
than she desert me


oh i'm never speaking up again
i'm never speaking up again
i'm never speaking up again
Starting now, starting now...

Not My Kinda Scene by Powderfinger

I remember this is one of the songs I really enjoyed from the Mission: Impossible 2 soundrack, which was led of by Limp Bizkit. We didn't have an audio system at that time, so I listened to this CD, which I won from my brother from a bet, from his Playstation.



Tell me where I'm
Supposed to begin

An unhappy life working
Some kind of dead end job
For everything you thought you had
Has gone from worse to bad

Lean to the side
Whisper it quiet
The end is in sight to working
All night around the clock
For everything you thought you had
has gone from worse to bad

But it's not my kind of scene oh yeah
Footprints on the other side
Remind me where I've been oh yeah
I'll watch from the other side

Tell me where I'm
Supposed to begin
Move out of sight and onto
Some life I'm dreaming of
For everything you thought you had
Has gone from worse to bad
So I'll just wait and watch the wheels
While you're turning back

But it's not my kind of scene oh yeah
Footprints on the other side
Remind me where I've been oh yeah
I'll watch from the other side

It pulls me over and it drags me under
It pulls me over and it drags me under

tell me where I'm
supposed to begin
an unhappy life working


Alright now alright now
Alright now alright now

But it's not my kind of scene oh yeah
Footprints on the other side
Remind me where I've been oh yeah
I'll watch from the other side
Alright now alright now
I'll watch from the other side
Alright now alright now
I'll watch from the other side

Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart

I believe this song is one of the best love songs out there... and I just found out that it was originally written and performed by Van Morrision. Kudos to Rod Stewart to introducing me to this song!



Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Good Love Is On the Way by John Mayer

This is John Mayer's way of telling me (us), that there's somewhat a chance for me, that Good Love is on the Way. Unless he wrote this song only for himself. This song was played by JM as John Mayer Trio with Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan.


I'm a lazy lover
Undercover
Wasting time
Then one day this summer
I changed my number
To cut my line

Good love is on the way
I been lonely but I know, I'll be ok
Good love is on the way

3 years broken hearted
But now her ghost is finally gone
I'm done with broken people
This is me
I'm working on (cause I know)

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know, I'll be ok
Good love is on the way

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and I'm
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them anymore

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and I'm
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them anymore

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way
Oh, Good love is on the way, hey

Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts

This is a great song from The Plain White T's about a girl and promises made. I like songs written for a very specific girl.





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 one's 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.
