Hey there Delilah
What's it like in Texarkana
You're 400 miles away
So girl, I'm sitting here with Anna
Yes I am
She really thinks that I'm her man
And I'm going out with Pam

Hey there Delilah
I've been lonely since you left me
Come back home
I promise I'll break up with Stephanie
Things will be great
None of those girls can take your place
Not even Grace

Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
I'm such an ass

Hey there Delilah
It's way to hard to be faithtul
But believe me girl
If you come back I'll be so grateful
And I'll be good
Just like I know I should
I really would

Hey there Delilah
You're far away and all alone
I miss you bad
But all I've done is write this stupid song
You deserve so much more
I'm such a bore
And a man whore

Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
I'm such an ass

400 miles seems pretty far
But I've got booze and chicks and bars
So I'll stay busy until you come home
Your friends all make fun of me
Because they think you're too good for me
Delilah I promise I'll change for you
It's really true
Don't say we're through
If you leave me I'll be blue

Hey there Delilah
I hear that you're not coming home
I can't say I really blame you
I guess I knew it all along
So here's to you
Hope you find someone's who's true
I sure miss you, yes I do


Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
Oh I can't help myself
I'm such an ass
