Lyrics
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.
I've been waiting around
For someone like her to get in contact with me
She could be the greatest
I know she'd be the greatest
If only she was open to see me
It's alright, though
'Cause I got time
Time isn't my essence and time isn't the line
It's alright, though
She'll give me a buzz
I'll call her my baby
And she'll call me her cuz
Well, I think I'm in love 'cause
Lately, I call you
When I do nothing, oh
Lately, I call you
When I do nothing, oh
Well, that is love
Yeah, that is love and it's hard to do
It's a job for two
How do I do what I do
If I don't get nothing from you?
And I've so much work what to do
Yeah, I've so much work to do now
Oh, it's work for you 'cause
Lately, I call you
When I do nothing, oh
Lately, I call you
When I do nothing, oh
