Lately
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That day when I made you cry
Didn't think you'd say goodbye
But I hurt you deep inside
and I'm sorry love
Hope you can understand
When I went to the other man
See, baby had to work my plan
but you've had enough
Yeah, shake me love
Don't wake me love
I'm dreamin' of ya
We're broken up
But I'm sure it was
Love, my love
Lately I've been
Lately,
I've been comin up
Just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I am popular
They say I'm Pretty
You should come back to me
Lately, lately
Yeah, baby I was a crab
Didn't realize what I had
Took the good and made it bad
and I'm sorry love
But I landed on my feet, now
Lookie here and you will see, now
I think you'll like me, check me out
Yeah, shake me love
Don't wake me love
I'm dreamin' of ya
We're broken up
But I'm sure it was
Love, my love
Lately I've been
Lately,
I've been comin up
Just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I am popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me
Lately, lately
You have what I need
and I know how it seems
But it's not that way
I was chasing my dreams
If you only knew how I felt about you
You'd be running back
Back on my street
Lately,
I've been comin up
Just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I am popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me
Lately, lately...
Lately,
I've been comin up
Just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I am popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me
Lately, lately,
Lately,
I've been comin up
Just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I am popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me (all right!)
Lately, lately
