Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'round my mind
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
with your heart
Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping
You just say nothing's changed
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye
Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
On the corner into my car
I drive forever never get far
The 45 is slowly getting loaded
I send another song to my star
California mountains in the mornin'
Stitch it up, and get it all
All along the woman's got a want it
Stitch it up, and get it all
We all walk your pavement, get it off
Take more than your....
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
A pendulum inside of my bed
Swingin' low, I hope to get hit
The overflow is slow, but not enough no
Another drop will never fix it
California mountains in the mornin'
Get along, and get it all
All along the woman's got a want it
Stitch it up, and get it all
We all walk your pavement, get if off
Take more than your friends
If I call you lately
I could be your man
I could be your greatness
If I call you lately
I could be your man
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
I shut it down the look in my eyes
Knock 'em dead a' covered in flies
The big sleep without a bed of roses
The light of day will never tell lies
All along the woman's got a want it
Stitch it up, and get it all
California mountains in the mornin'
Stitch it up, and get it all
We all walk your pavement
Take more than your friends
If I call you lately
I could be your man
I could be your greatness
If I call you lately
I could be your man
On the river into my dock
I paddle throught the shadow and fog
To ponder all of those who came before me
Another piece for building my arch
We closed that bar and we closed that town.
The sun looked different coming up than it did going
down.
That was long ago - do you still love me or do you
hate me?
I wouldn't know - I haven't seen you lately.
We could have died dancing in each other's arms
Or driving home close and warm out through the
little farms,
Or in the bed, holding on and shaking.
But we did not - and where you been lately?
I can see your eyes, so dark and knowing,
And I wonder where that distant train is going.
If I found you, would you smile - would you take me?
From weh day, me friend dem ah ask me
If dolly house mash up, mi a seh baby
Things nuh right, right now, you nuh see it
So mek we talk
Well, I don't know why we must fight
Lately baby things ain't right
I just wanna hold you so tight
Freak you girl until morning light
You waan know why I drink so much
All these late nights in these clubs
It's 'cause I miss your tender touch
Baby girl, we should be making love
Of lately baby you and me been moving crazy
But you're my world, my girl your love has saved me
No other love, no other girl, no other lady
Could take the place of you my boo, dawg, don't forsake me
Baby girl, don't you know that I'm the one that
Give you my love? Just because you caught my heart, you won that
Girl you know that I'm the only one you want pon that
Don't you give away my love, girl
Well, I don't know why we must fight
Lately baby things ain't right
I just wanna hold you so tight
Freak you girl until morning light
You waan know why I drink so much
All these late nights in these clubs
It's 'cause I miss your tender touch
Baby girl, we should be making love
It get so bad that you and me no longer floss
No watch no flick, no make, no flex, so baby what's the cost?
Girl without you in my life, I'd be very lost
Go ahead argue with me, I will make it pass
Girl you know seh we connect, your feelings can't mask
See it write up on your face
You know we must last, we gonna make it
Right now you cannot take it
You callin' me a jerk but, baby girl, you are my hot sauce
Well, I don't know why we must fight
Lately baby things ain't right
I just wanna hold you so tight
Freak you girl until morning light
You waan know why I drink so much
All these late nights in these clubs
It's 'cause I miss your tender touch
Baby girl, we should be making love
Girl when I think about it the years that we devoted
Have been the best of my life I don't know what I'd do without it
Sometimes the liquor may cloud it but girl no bother doubt it
And if there's still a doubt up inna your brain then just de load it
I tell you baby girl upon the search, true love we found it
And up the river of life together girl we gonna fload it
You know your daddy's home, I'm the king, you're the queen
Pon di throne together we sit we nah go crowd it
Well, I don't know why we must fight
Lately baby things ain't right
I just wanna hold you so tight
Freak you girl until morning light
You waan know why I drink so much
All these late nights in these clubs
It's 'cause I miss your tender touch
Baby girl, we should be making love
I don't know why we must fight
Lately baby things ain't right
You're so tight mornin light
I never knew much
Enough was enough
The reasons were not always there
But the look in your eyes
Hides that surprise
I would never have counted on this
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what your doing
Yeah lately
You look around
Your wondering what you seeing
What your doing
The taste of your freedom
Was sweeter than love
Cause you never had a chance to live
Your blue sky calls
To seduce and bewitch
And give you the wings of your fate
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what your doing
Yeah lately
You look around
Your wondering what you seeing
What your doing
I never knew much
Enough was enough
The reasons were not always there
But the look in your eyes
Hides that surprise
I would never have counted on this
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what your doing
Yeah lately
You look around
Your wondering what you seeing
What your doing
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what your doing
Yeah lately
You look around
Your wondering what you seeing
In the fog lights
There was tear gas floating through the twilight
And he wondered what life would be like
With a giant screen TV, a fridge full of beer
And a conscience that's clean
See lately
She'd been thinking about her little tiny baby
And the boy who had gone to defend me
She's a good friend of mine
But I can't take the place of her man anytime
And it won't be long till he's coming home
You gotta bring your soldier home
When all those stones have all been thrown
Gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid
And hope he can live with whatever he did
Now meanwhile
He was reading magazines on the front line
He was trying not to think about her life
And what he might have done
'Cause it seemed like neither one of them
Were having any fun
See lately
She'd been acting kinda crazy lately
Oh man, I thought she was gonna hate me
'Cause I couldn't watch her little one
I had so much to do, I was so high strung
And it won't be long till daddy's home
You gotta bring your soldier home
When all those stones have all been thrown
You gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid
And hope he can live with whatever he did
And lately, all the hate escapes me
And lately all the hate just escapes me lately
So he phoned her
He said, "Darling, I've been feeling so alone here
Am I making myself perfectly clear
And I'm on my way back just a couple more missions
And I start getting packed"
You gotta bring your soldier home
When all those stones have all been thrown
Gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid
And hope he can live with whatever he did
Lately I was wondering if she heard from him lately
Lately I've been feeling a little bit neglected. When it comes to your ex-boyfriends, well, I guess I'm overprotective. But it's nothing personal. I just wanted you to tell me that you care. Lately I've been thinking bout' stickin' my hand in a toaster. I never asked to take a ride on this emotional roller coaster. It's you that I want, and lately it feels like you're not there. Lately I've been contemplating jumping in the ocean. Sometimes even Spock would show a little more emotion! Do you still love me now as much as you loved me yesterday? I try to let it out. I bitch, cry, moan, whine, scream and shout today, but the wall wouldn't listen to me! Why wouldn't it listen to me? I'm sick of always cryin'. I don't wanna be sick of trying, but you've gotta want me too. Lately I've been hoping for a little bit of affection. Sometimes I wish that you had came with your own set of directions. I guess it's not that easy, but I hope that you still love me anyway. Lately I've been thinkin' bout' takin' a vow of silence. I've never seen a monk result in any acts of violence. Or, maybe I'll just cry and hope you come around again today.
That the sky would lift
That I?d find my place
That I?d see your face in the door
And the sun would glint
On a time well spent
On a time that ain?t no more
Takes the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
To see the fruit that rots on the trees
Had to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it?s in my mind always
Honey, lately, I?ve been way down
Load on my mind
Honey, lately, I?ve been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling, I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye, goodbye
Drag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Or leave it all for dead
But it?s in my head always
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Load on my mind
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling, I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Now, honey, lately
Yeah, honey, lately
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Yeah, honey, lately, I've been way down
Yeah, honey, lately, I've been way down
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Lately
[VERSE 1:]
Pretty young thing
Sexy young girl I've been thinking bout
How we use to share one world but that's over now
Life without you just ain't life and it's killing me
Cause you just walked from our past and our beautiful dream
[B-SEC:]
I want y ou back cause I'm in need (I'm in need)
And I need to know have you thought about me
[CHORUS:]
Lately
All the trouble we use to get in my baby
Lately
In the back seat of my Benz now baby
Lately
We'll let the top drop you'll get on top baby
Lately
Have you thought about me, thought about me
[VERSE 2:]
Girl I was wrong so dead wrong with those things I did
How could I lie how could I cheat how'd you put up with it
GUess i got love but it aint love now you're so far away
You put it on me this player's so lonely there's go tto be a way
[B-SEC]
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE:]
What keeps me missing all that good love
My psyche won't let me forget all the good love we made
Just a little more love
Just a little more peace
Is all it takes
To live the Dream
To walk hand and hand
We've got to understand
And one day soon
SOMETIMES ALL THE MOMENTS
THAT WE SAVOURED FOR THE LAST
GET CRUSHED BETWEEN THE GOOD AND BAD
FROM PRESSURES WE HAVE HAD
BUT YOU KNOW I CAN'T CONCEIVE THE DAY
WHEN FEELINGS RUN TOO HIGH
TO WORK OUT ALL THE STALE TERRAIN
EMOTIONS TRY TO HIDE, WHEN I TRY
LATELY I CAN'T SEEM TO COLOUR WHAT WE'VE LOST
IT ALL SEEMS LIKE BAD MEANS
WHEN LOVERS TURN FROM LUST
THEN I TRY, TRY TO SMOKE ALONE
THESE SHATTERED TIES WITH NO COMPROMISE
FALL THROUGH THIS FRAGILE HELL
THE DRINKS STAY SIPPED 'COS WE'VE LOST OUR GRIP
I can't imagine life
without you by my side
This is love baby that I'm feeling
and I'm hoping
that you're feeling the same way
things tend to slip my mind
like how you like to wine and dine baby
with romantic lights you mean a lot to me
in so many ways
Lately
have I told you I love you
lately
have I told you you still mean the world to me
lately
have I told you I love you
I'll be your wishing well
tell me what you want baby
don't think twice of our love
I say these things because
I love you but it's hard to explain
and I'm hoping that you're feeling the same way
You know that all of my
feelings are inside
and verbally I tend to forget
how much I L-O-V-E U Really means
Lately
have I told you I love you
lately
have I told you you still mean the world to me
lately
have I told you I love you
I'll be your wishing well
tell me what you want baby
Try your hardest to deal
yes I forgot but you know how I feel
things slip my mind baby that's a fact
tell me you love me
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
You wake me love
I'm dreamin' of ya
(I know that we're) We're broken up but I'm sure it was love, my love
Lately I've been...
Lately I've been coming up just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I'm popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me (Back to me)
Lately, lately
Yeah, baby I was a crab
Didn't realise 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
(I know that we're) We're broken up but I'm sure it was love, my love
Lately I've been...
Lately I've been coming up just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I'm popular
They say I'm pretty (I'm pretty baby)
You should come back to me (Yeah, yeah)
Lately, lately
You have what I need and I know how it seems but it's not that way (Not that way)
I was chasing my dreams (I was chasing my dreams)
If you only knew (If you only knew) how I felt about you, you'd be running back (Running back), back on my street
Lately (Lately) I've been coming up (Coming up) just like a palm tree (Palm)
People surrounding me
Yeah, I'm popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me (Yeah)
Lately, lately
Lately I've been coming up just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
(Yeah, all now get that I'm popular) Yeah, I'm popular
They say I'm pretty (Yeah, that I'm pretty baby)
You should come back to me
Lately, lately
Lately I've been coming up (Come to me) just like a palm tree
People surrounding me
Yeah, I'm popular
They say I'm pretty
You should come back to me (Alright)
Lately I've had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you has been hanging
Round my mind
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With, you say, no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know
Never know
Well I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premanition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz they always start to cry
Cuz this time could mean good-bye
Oh yes
Good-bye
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
With your heart (ooh)Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaugely heard you whisper someone's name
But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping
You just say, nothing's changed
Well I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premanition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz they always start to cry
Farewell, farewell
Cuz this time could mean good-byegood-bye
Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premanition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz they always start to cry
Cuz this time could mean good-bye
Oh-ho, whoooo, mmmm, heyy
Good-bye baby
Good-bye baby
Good-bye my sweet lady baby
Lately I have felt deep inside myself
Maybe something ain't right
I feel like I've been turned and put on the back burner
And there's no rescue in sight
Maybe I have changed but you know I feel the same
I still got this hunger in my bones
I'm going on an all night drive all the way to the other side
There's a place I used to call my home
Hey I, hey I, I, I got something to tell you
Hey I, hey I, I, I never meant to hurt you
I gotta get my stuff and go
I gotta leave to free my soul
'Cause lately I've seen a different side of me
I don't know where I have gone
I'm killin' friend and foe somebody tell me so I know
Whose side I am on
It ain't the same as it used to be I gotta jump and I'll be free
I guess the ground will break my fall
Lately I've been lost, I gotta find me an albatross
To lead me back into my port of call
Hey I, hey I, I, I got something to tell you
Hey I, hey I, I, I never meant to hurt you
I gotta get my stuff and go
I gotta leave to free my soul, free my soul
Hey hey
Lately I've been out of my head again
I don't know what I have found
I feel at home here, I'm not alone here
Lot of fucked up heads in this little town
But I never proved to be anything but an oddity
I guess, I'm better of alone
Hey I, hey I, I, I got something to tell you
Hey I, hey I, I, I never meant to hurt you
Hey I, hey I, I, I got something to tell you
I gotta get my stuff and go
I gotta leave to free my soul
Free my soul
Free my soul
Free my soul
[ED:]
mmmmm
I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
admiring the seen, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.
jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
although my blood shot whites and iris's they never find any
clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
although my eyes are heavy they wont be closing soon
cos i know that time waits for nobody, I suppose its true
we make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
to see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
so I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
cos we all recognise, real is what my father says
and I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
but I'll just keep going strong as ever, never let my eyes close
[DEVLIN:]
5 o'clock with lights off
interview with a vampire
sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require
I swear I said, that I'll sleep when I'm dead
whos on the beat upon the feature with Ed its D-E-V to the Z
over tired, pale faced like Michael Myers
bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage I've acquired
and over the time within this maze I'll think you'll find you'll never find that peace of mind you seek to find until your dying
cuz I got too much to stay awake for, to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game
its time to wage war
scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives
2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight
I'm haling from the Essex and the East London boarder line
villans never sleep they mastermind in all sorts of crimes,
be wide awake just like your snorting lines
or get left mortified like you just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by
[CHORUS:]
I never sleep
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
the times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be..
the times I'm living in lately.
[ED:]
I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth
and the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out
deliver the raps how I flow
I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me wrong
but they wont slither in too easy, believe me I'm snake minded
be within this great time, be on minimum wage, life is a prison escape that I'm in
its all to do with timing not the label that you sign with
then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in
I try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillows
some of the the songs I write are real because the chart is filled with si-li-cone
I'm still broke without the money for a mac pro, living out of three bags no talk about my cash flow
opposite of sober cos I never did my homework
which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older
I played a fool to catch the wise I will never tell a lie
I wake dead, take deep breaths, try to never die!
never die.
[DEVLIN:]
2 guys with the same view, keep it tight like scrooge,
making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes
and if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze,
times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move
we scan the situation, analyse information, and then decide what probably is most practical to do,
driven young gentlemen
I've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months cos I haven't slept in them, true!
I'm coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong so I'm correcting 'em
we got the fans all like 'oh wow its its Devs and Ed' what less did you bloody expect from 'em
in the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment
fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock and no way will I ever waste a second of the time I got,
I keep my pupils engaged ,
like a classroom in holy matrimony but I'm only trying to stay awake.
[CHORUS:]
I never sleep
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh
the times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be.. [x4]

Or, maybe I'll just cry and hope you come around again today.
Lately
it's been a struggle
to make up what is left
of my mind
I've been hazy
lazy, listless and trouble
and the crazies they still come for me
in the night
What do they want?
What do they need?
What have I got
that they seek?
Lately
it's been a struggle
to make up what is left
of my mind
I've been hazy
lazy, listless and trouble
and the crazies they still come for me
in the night
What do they want
What do they need
What have I got
that they seek?
Lately
it's been a struggle
to make up what is left
Summertime always gives me the blues
Thinking about the things we used to do
Watching lovers in the park making love so free
And now i realize there's only me
Lately baby where, where did we go wrong
You been acting like a cat on a hot tin roof
Something's on your mind that you can't share
You never used to hide your feelings from me
Keepin secrets i don't understand
Lately baby where, where did we go wrong
I used to synchronize it with your body
Making it so tight never letting go
Lately baby where, where did we go wrong
Lately, lately, lately, lately
Lately baby, where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
[Verse 1:]
We're inches apart
But I am miles away
From getting what I want.
With so little time
And all these feelings for you
It's unexplainable.
[Pre-chorus:]
Don't you feel like having me
Take you on a ride?
Doing this so synchronized,
Your body touching mine,
Arch your back let it flow,
Take me where I wanna go,
Just take your time,
And put your lips on mine.
[Chorus:]
Uh oh!
I think I want you now,
Uh yeah!
I think I'm going crazy,
Uh oh!
Gotta have you now,
Uh yeah!
I want you so bad lately.
I want you so bad lately.
[Verse 2:]
Pushing the limit
And we're breaking the tension
That used to hold us back.
It's not over rated
It's what we created
You're an aphrodisiac.
[Pre-chorus:]
Don't you feel like having me
Take you on a ride?
Doing this so synchronized,
Your body touching mine,
Arch your back let it flow,
Take me where I wanna go,
Just take your time,
And put your lips on mine.
[Chorus:]
Uh oh!
I think I want you now,
Uh yeah!
I think I'm going crazy,
Uh oh!
Gotta have you now,
Uh yeah!
I want you so bad lately.
[Bridge:]
I don't wanna push the subject, baby,
But I just want your lovin',
This harmony we can set it free,
All we need is you and me.
I want you so bad, so bad.
[Chorus:]
Uh oh!
I think I want you now,
Uh yeah!
I think I'm going crazy,
Uh oh!
Gotta have you now,
Uh yeah!
Chorus
Lately I've been watching you.
Been thinking about you baby.
And everything you do.
Just sittin' away watching the days go by.
Have you ever felt a breeze hit your heart.
Like the wind was blowing it apart.
Had you spinning like a merry-go-round.
Indications of a storm touching down.
I wish that I could weather any storm.
But I guess it was a heartbreak from the norm.
It was a day that I will always remember.
The saddest day in sweet November.
Chorus
Lately I've been watching you.
Been thinking about you baby.
And everything you do.
Just sittin' away watching the days go by.
Baby I'm on my knees praying God help me please.
Bring my baby back,right back to me.
If loving you is right ,Then I don't want to go wrong.
So I drown myself with tears.
Sittin' here singing another sad love song
Chorus
Lately I've been watching you.
Been thinking about you baby.
And everything you do.
Just sittin' away watching the days go by.
Baby I've been torn apart, I wish you hadn't broke my heart
I'm missing you babe, missing you everyday (x2)
Chorus
Lately I've been watching you.
Been thinking about you baby.
And everything you do.
Someday maybe, when you can rest your eyes
You know lately it’s been no big deal
I’m on top just thinking about it, keeping it rollin in
Never noticed I spend every single minute on it
I’m not leaving, I’m not going
I got everything, it’s a simple thing
You may be hurt but it ain’t showing
Well I guess everybody gotta go someday
Keeps getting better every time I stay
Fills me up just to hear you say
It’s been so good lately
I’ve been thinking about you lately
Have you been thinking about me lately?
I can see you everywhere lately
That’s the way it should be
Somehow I know inside, this is going to take me there
Living in the middle of it, makes it crystal clear
It’s no more wondering what I should do
Maybe you noticed I spend every single minute on it
I’m not leaving, I’m not going
I got everything, it’s a simple thing
You may be hurt but it aint showin
Well I guess everybody gotta go someday
Keeps getting better every time I stay
Fills me up just to hear you say
It’s been so good lately
I’ve been thinking about you lately
Have you been thinking about me lately?
I can see you everywhere lately
That’s the way it should be
Over and over, how much me work
Started to watch as the tables turn
It’s all between us and starting to come together,
together, together
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Lately
I’ve been thinking about you lately
Have you been thinking about me lately?
I can see you everywhere lately
That’s the way it should be
Have you been thinking about me?
Can you turn the music up in the headphones?
Theres to many hours to count down to midnight
But you never wanted to let it go
when your talking for hours
You said you wanted, you want to know
When you wait for it to say
I'm not talking
You wait for it to say
I'm not walking
I don't know where it all went wrong
When you wait for me to say
I'm not talking
I wait for you to say
I'm not walking
I don't know where it all went wrong
But doesn't it seem a little strange
the way we've been treated lately
Doesn't it seem a little strange to you,
to you
But doesn't it seem a little strange
the way we've been treated lately
Doesn't it seem a little strange to you,
to you
Doesn't it seem a little strange
the way we've been treated lately
Doesn't it seem a little strange to you,
to you
But that all right
It's the way that we walking away
Because we waiting for the night to come to an end
It's just the way that we dancing so close
The way we walking nice and
The way we waiting for the night to come to an end
Doesn't it seem a little strange
the way we've been treated lately
Doesn't it seem a little strange to you,

But that all right
It's the way that we walking away
Because we waiting for the night to come to an end
It's just the way that we dancing so close
The way we walking nice and..
Lately I've had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
but yet the thought of losing you has been hanging
Around my mind
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
And with you say 'No special place to go'
But when I ask, will you be coming back soon?
you don't know, never know
I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz they always start to cry
Cuz this time could mean good, goodbye.
(Oh why don't you tell me)
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Saying I'm trying to tell myself that I have no reason With your heart
Girl, just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But, when I asked you of the thoughts you're keeping
You just said 'Nothing changed'
(2x)
I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel My eyes won't let me hide
Cuz they always start to cry (yeah yeah baby)
Cuz this time could mean good bye
Lately I've had so much on my mind
Patience, must be patient, give it time
Hold on to this moment, hold on tight
You say, time waits for no man
I'll wait I will trust in destiny
Place faith in my own ability
Lately I've had so much on my mind
Maybe life will bring to me what's mine
Hold on, to this moment, hold on tight
lately my world's been coming down
and lately i've needed you around
lately my love's been on the ground
and lately i've needed you around
i've always needed you
i've pledged my love so true
stuck on another lovely
stuck on the other lovely
stuck on another lovely girl
lately my love's been so benign
and lately i've wanted you for mine
lately you've been oh so unkind
and lately things haven't fell in line
i've always needed you
i've pledged my love so true
oh my girl
i love you so
stuck on another lovely
stuck on the other lovely
stuck on another lovely girl
where is my only one
when i'm the lonely one?
stuck on another lovely girl
Lately I've been feeling
a little bit neglected.
When it comes to your ex-boyfriends,
well, I guess I'm overprotective.
But it's nothing personal
I just wanted you to tell me that you
care.
Lately I've been thinking 'bout
stickin' my hand in a toaster.
I never asked to take a ride
on this emotional roller-coaster.
It's you that I want,
and lately it feels like you're not there.
Lately I've been contemplating
jumping in the ocean.
Sometimes even Spock would show
a little more emotion!
Do you still love me now
as much as you loved me yesterday?
(Chorus)
I try to let it out...
I bitch, cry, moan, whine, scream and
shout today,
but the wall wouldn't listen to me!
Why wouldn't it listen to me?
I'm sick of always cryin'
I don't wanna be sick of trying,
but you've gotta want me too.
Lately I've been hoping for
a little bit of affection.
Sometimes I wish that you had came
with your own set of directions.
I guess it's not that easy,
but I hope that you still love me anyway.
Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout
takin' a vow of silence,
I've never seen a monk result
in any acts of violence.
Or, maybe I'll just cry
and hope you come around again today.
(Repeat chorus)
Stealin', down, feelin' I'm burnin today,
Done with everything that I've thrown away,
Waitin' for the sun up, I'm through the gray with my song...
I need you,
I feed you...
(you know) x5
CHORUS:
Its time to forget about all the things you've been thinkin' about lately;
Lately, it's been a rollercoaster, those doubts and reasons why;
It's time to forget about all the lies that are makin' your heart angry;
Angry, and all the ones that said, you would never ever fly.
Fly...
Cuttin' through, feel the groove of the day,
Pushin' through the pain 'till it goes away, yeah...
Memories cuttin' like a razorblade,
Pushin through the pain 'till it fades away, yeah...
I bleed you...
(you know) x5
[CHORUS]
Please take this heart of mine for a ride,
Through the sky...
Please take this heart for a ride,
Through the sky...
[CHORUS]

Legs that seem to go on forever
Brown eyes like a doe
And her soul so beautiful, oh lady, lady, lady
Lately I've been thinking 'bout you
Wondering where have you been
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Lately I've been seeing your
Face in my dreams
Are you dreaming 'bout me?
Are you dreaming 'bout me?
Soul child I'm basking in
The memory of your smile
And everywhere you go
Everybody feels the glow, oh yeah, oh yeah
A melody wrapped in queen and dream
Perfectly describes you
Your beauty echoes pleasures all through me
How can I dream more of you?

Lately I've been thinking 'bout you
Loving you, day and night, together
Lately I've been dreaming, dream of eternity
You're in my arms in love
Lately I've been thinking baby
lately when i speak out
they laugh and take me in
they send me off to places
they have never been
they were in the same place yesterday
talking about the people they're not
the things they want
we aren't like them
we aren't like them
lately when i speak out
it's just to my friends
there isnt hope for us
if you we don't let others in
i was in the same place yesterday hoping for
people to be the changes they see
we aren't like them
we aren't like them
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh, oh whoa)
(Oh, oh whoa)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh, oh whoa)
(Oh, oh whoa)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm just sittin' back and realizin'
All the reasons I made a bad turn
She was gettin' fed up and slowly driftin'
I guess the love we had crashed and burned
I had excuses for everything
I put your feelings last
I kept my business first
I never knew how much you meant to me
Until the last minute it hit me
(Now that she's gone, deep inside I feel cold)
(I can't live my life right, so empty inside)
Without her I don't know if I can make it
Maybe she's all that I need
(I hate that she's gone, no it ain't a good feeling)
(I feel so weak and no I can't stand it)
'Cause it's killin' me in every way
I can't explain it
Ooh, ooh, ooh whoo...
[Chorus:]
Maybe I deserve for you to leave
Maybe I should've said how it is between you and me
Maybe
Maybe
Just maybe
Maybe
'Cause lately I've been thinkin' about myself
Lately I've been drivin' you insane breakin' your heart
Lately
Lately
Just lately
Lately
Well I don't get most to fall
What makes her stand up than any other girl?
I'm so confused I can't call it
I feel so bad there's so much she doesn't know
I put on a front sayin' nothin's goin' on
And I don't feel right 'cause I know that it's wrong
I took advantage of your love and it hurts
Oh it hurts yeah
(Now that she's gone, deep inside I feel cold)
(I can't live my life right, so empty inside)
Without her I don't know if I can make it
Maybe she's all that I need
(I hate that she's gone, no it ain't a good feeling)
(I feel so weak and no I can't stand it)
'Cause it's killin' me in every way
I can't explain it girl
[Chorus:]
Maybe I deserve for you to leave
Maybe I should've said how it is between you and me
Maybe

Just maybe

Lately I've been drivin' you, (oh, oh, oh), insane breakin' your heart
Lately

Lately
Just lately
(Lately yeah)
Lately
Maybe I should've paid more attention
Took the times that you was givin'
But I had too much goin' on girl, girl
'Cause it's not the same when you're not here
(It's not the same)
I feel drained, I don't know what to do hoo, what to do hoo
(What should I do?)
Maybe I deserve for you to go
I deserve for you to go
Oh ooh
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh, oh whoa)
I don't know what I should do
(Oh, oh whoa)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Maybe
[Chorus:]
Maybe I deserve for you to leave
(I deserve for you to go)
Maybe I should've said how it is between you and me
('Cause I haven't been by you)
Maybe
Maybe
(Maybe)
Just maybe
Maybe
('Cause I have been thinkin' wrong)
'Cause lately I've been thinkin' about myself
Lately I've been drivin' you insane breakin' your heart
(And I have been puttin' your love last girl)
Lately
Lately
(Oh ho oh)
Just lately
(And it ain't right)
Lately
1st verse:
Lately I have had this strangest feeling,
with no vivid reasons here to find.
Yet the thought of losing's been hanging, round my mind...
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume,
with you say, "No special place to go"
But when I ask will you be coming back soon,
you don't know, never know.
Chorus:
Well, I'm a man of many wishes,

2nd Verse:
Lately I've been staring in the mirror,
very slowly picking me apart.
Tryin' to tell myself I have no reason, with your heart.
Just the other night while you were sleeping,
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name.
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping,
you just say, nothing's changed.
Have you ever felt a breeze hit your heart.
Like the wind was blowing it apart.
Had you spinning like a merry-go-round.
Indications of a storm touching down.
I wish that I could weather any storm.
But I guess it was heartbreak from the norm.
It was a day that I will always remember.
The saddest day in November.
Lately I've been watching you.
Been thinking about you baby.
And everything you do.
Just sittin' away watching the days go by.
I'm on my knees praying God help me please.
Bring my baby back, bring him right back to me.
If loving you is right I don't ever want to be wrong.
Instead I drown myself with tears.
Sittin' here singing another love song
Lately I've been torn apart.

(bridge)
Lately I've been torn apart
I wish you hadn't broke my heart
I'm missin' you babe
Missin' you every day
Lately I've been torn apart
I wish you hadn't broke my heart
I'm missin you babe
Missin' you every day
Something's still seems hostile here
Still won't make me proud
Feels so right, yet wrong again
Covered by these shrouds
'Cos nobody lately, looks like you do
And nobody lately, sounds like you do
As I'm moving around again
There's no sight or sound
I make mistakes everywhere
And who knows where they're bound
'Cos nobody lately, looks like you do
And nobody lately, sounds like you do
And as I'm moving up again
I can see it with my eyes
There's a sun cloud that's moving down
I've seen my face back in the crowd, and I know
Can't feel myself no more, oh oh
'Cos nobody lately, looks like you do
And nobody lately, sounds like you
Nobody lately, looks like you do
Nobody lately, feels like you
Lately I have noticed that my life goes up and down.
Like a teeter totter rising and falling for two years now.
And the older I get the more I day dream to the clouds
But I'll try to act fine, until I teach myself how, to be happy again.
(Chorus) Cause if it's your heart then it's your life, stop wasting all this time trying to decide if you'll turn out alright.
It's your life so it's your choice. How will you use your voice, to speak up on whats right.
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum (x2)
Lately I have noticed that I lose the ones I like,
I don't know who I have until they walk out of my life.
But the more time goes on the more I ask myself why.
But I'll have to shape up and learn how to laugh instead of cry.
(Chorus)
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum (x2)
Lately I have noticed that I seem to try too hard
but by the time I realize, I've already gone too far
At least in times like these I see who my true friends are.
If you left thinking I'd forget, well I still have the scar

But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping,

Oh, dreams, dreams of you
I'll do anything to spend a little time with you
The way you turn my world all around, feels so good
When I go to sleep, late at night, all I see, girl is you
All I see is you
Baby, you blow my mind what am I supposed to do
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
And girl, I really want you bad
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
And girl, I really want you bad
Look into my eyes, what I'm going through
Might see something you like, a paradise for two, me and you
Oh, won't you take a little time now that you know how I feel
Don't need no lie detector to see I'm for real, I want you bad
Won't, won't, you do like you do
Late at night when I'm dreaming about you
Girl, you're one of a kind
I wish that you were my baby
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
And girl, I really want you bad
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
And girl, I really want you bad
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
And girl, I really want you bad
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
And girl, I really want you bad
Lately I've been dreaming to myself
Never was much given to prayer
But lately I?m pleading with the air
To keep you safe from harm my dears
The only things that you should keep in rows
Are your perfect teeth and the rest you know
Its own sweet way will always go
Add your footsteps to the wear
For a tiny dent in every stair
something caught my eye
chillin' out tonight as you walked on by
this defeat inside take my breath away
and i just can't hide
[ Bridge ]
You don't know what you're doing to me boy

Aight
I grew up sandwiched up
Between my oldest sister and my youngest one, Danica
I didn't have plans for much, just lamping up
And used to confuse nice things with the fancy stuff
I'm a back in the day nigga
I'm a westside Crenshaw official L.A nigga
Money still don't make me
You don't wanna see a nigga pull out off safety
Your girl still wanna date me
She wanna hit the mall, I'm here come take me
Tell her just don't rape me
Bust a nut, give her dap, tell her get home safely
Lately, Lately
When I roll up heads turn my tops up
Lately, Lately
Niggas don't really want no problems
Lately we make all the girls strip at the pool party, summertime
I'm talking 'bout lately, I'm talking 'bout lately, I'm repping L.A
Lately that's what im talking 'bout
I been up but it don't mean much
What's the good in being on when your whole fucking team's stuck
I'm trynna help lift their dreams up
I'm not happy in the playoffs I'm tryna pick some rings up
When life's hard get harder, think big think smarter
Be a boy, be a man, be a martyr
I used to catch a game with my father
And now I catch planes to Chicago
A nigga felt the pain of the bottom
And now I chalk game up in Harlem
2 gold chains, what's the problem
A nigga work hard so I got 'em
Them Jordans go hard so I got 'em
That nigga seen mines then he got 'em
So in us, we trust
Spend money, re-up
School days, free lunch
You gotta hit the weed once
We don't like police much
When I roll up heads turn my tops up
Niggas don't really want no problems
Lately we make all the girls strip at the pool party, summertime
I'm talking 'bout lately, I'm talking 'bout lately, I'm repping L.A
Lately that's what im talking 'bout
School days, free lunch
You gotta hit the weed once
We don't like police much
Put your peace... up
When I roll up heads turn my tops up
Lately, Lately
Lately, Lately, Lately
Lately, Lately

Lately,
lately I´ve been thinking a lot about my life
maybe I should stop drinking, get a job and find a wife
the world is too big and time is too short,
an overdose while I´m in love with you
lately I´ve been thinking too much about my life
maybe I should start drinking, quit my job and leave my
wife
the world ...
no overdose while I´m in love with you
come over, I wanna hold her
[Chorus:]
[Lil' Bing]
Lately I been thinking bout a major

Lately I been thinking bout a major
I gotta grind, kinda low on my paper
Lately I been thinking bout a major
I gotta grind, kinda low on my paper
Lately I been thinking bout a major
I gotta grind, kinda low on my paper
[Lil' Villain]
Man looky here cuz, I'm doing bad I'm lacking paper
Dont give a damn bout to pull a major

Got young ass niggaz looking up to us

Know what I mean all about my green
Gotta a hit a lick with methazine
Shit nigga I need the cash
Better give it bitch before I smash your ass
I'll reach to grab and i'll start to stash
I'm running down the block with heat in the hands
I'm busting rock cause they fighting back
Mutherfucker recognize I need to jack
They saw my face now they wanna kill me
But bitch recognize im a reckless G
I'm a theif, A raw, I steal for real
Thats why they call me little Vill
So mutherfucker make the deal
Aint giving them shit I spend it here
With me and all my couple of pills
We need to eat, we got kids nigga
Why you thinking I'm grinding nigga
On the mic but staying hard
All my mutherfucking blacks on boulevard
I swear to god man shit getting hard
And I pray to you look out for my daughter
Cause one day shit might get sour
All mighty dollar work in your hour
All for the love of money and power
From the north just like a coward
[Chorus:]
[Grimm]
Man I cutted me another set of ki's knocking at my door
Should I cover that or promise back 36 more
Make that twelve twenty four before my feet hit the floor
Bubble that brought back when I see steve at the store
Coke dealer fa sho the next connecter coming through
Gotta run the dope cant let the dope run through you
One truth from the start ill leave you stuck in the end
Believe its nothin to him to see you sucking up wind
Youve been told now I kept you known go about you business
The risk is live it to your life, and live this
The dreams oversees the world is yours to for
Take what you can get and pass that on to more people
No secrets, no second chances, no paid advances
No snatches, no ranches in Texas and Kansas
The times done got hard, years dont feel short
This games flipped apart im drifting apart but...
[Chorus:]
[Ikeman]
I got the fever for a flavor, I been thinking bout a major
Stacking paper thats my nature, pull a stunt to major capers
Big Ike im a keep it gangsta light it up and pour my drank up
With intentions just to gank ya, take a toke till a nigga thank ya
I'm a gangsta cock the rugger, I got killers and I got Hoodlums
I got Mexicans that'll do ya plus some young niggaz that'll school ya
You got pulled and im a rush ya, im that one that jacks the hustla
I'm a gangsta motherfucker known to knock me off a buster
And lately I been peepin I been creepin while you sleepin
Instead of seekin like im fiend ya for the dope to even keepin it
I'm in a Lincoln thinking throwed cause my homie gets the throwed
Up off the dope, but with a home, sixty G's and twenty fours
Stupid hoes to spit the game, give me the pussy then slang
For your weed and your change and if you bleed then we the same
So we can bust or we can spray, it aint no trust up in this game
So im a jack and im a slang and I done tried but I cant change, but..
[Chorus:]
( tried my best they may be slightly wrong)
Lately lately things have been crazy crazy but I'm thinking maybe
baby it's gunna be all right
Worlds on fire and were burning
All this loss and were yearning
For something to stop the hurting
Even teary got them blues
Nothing's worse than whats on the news
It's going down and we are loseing
Lately lately things have been crazy crazy but I'm thinking maybe
baby it's gunna be all right
Work is hard and going no where
Made to stop and left to stare
We're holding on but everybody's scared
What to do when all is lost
Wallet Barreb getting cause
Missing miles and we are saying prayers
Lately lately things have been crazy crazy but I'm thinking maybe
baby it's gunna be all right
Seen a lot of lying
Done a lot of sighing
Too much compromising
Seen a lot of dying
Heard too much crying
But baby we keep trying
Lately lately things have been crazy crazy but I'm thinking maybe
baby it's gunna be all right
Lately lately things have been crazy crazy but I'm thinking maybe
baby it's gunna be all right
All right
All right
Stuck in a rut and you can't get out
Wanted to run but I had to doubt
That I was alive like the very first time
I swear to you that this is life, yeah
Yeah
So take me away to another year
Where everything is so unclear
One day I will understand
All these plans, all these plans, yeah
Yeah
But I just can't figure You out
Oh no, I just can't figure You out
You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me
You are the mystery
But You're all that I wanna be
Lately
Oh lately
The world ain't what it's supposed to be
Does it sicken You, 'cause it sickens me
One day I will learn to swim
Out of this din
But I just can't figure You out
Oh no, I just can't figure You out
Yeah You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me
You are the mystery
But You're all that I wanna be
Lately
Oh lately
If I knew everything about everything
There would be no time for faith
I'm alright
You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me
You are a mystery
Tell me what's wrong with me
You are a mystery
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I've got
Don't forget to let it in
I feel the weight
I'm unsure
Don't race to let it in
It's so alive
When you get into my head
I can’t seem to get you out
There’s something about you I can’t forget
Don’t think I can go without
These thoughts won’t leave my mind
Doesn’t matter where I go you know
They’re with me all the time
You, you got something on me
Baby, lately
You, you got something on me
You’re making me crazy
I never knew I was lonely
Til lately baby
You, you got something on me
You’re making me crazy
Lately
When I see you the whole world spins
It’s everything you do
Come on now tell me that
You feel the same way too
These thoughts take over my mind
With or without you, you know that
They’re with me all the time
You, you got something on me
Baby, lately
You, you got something on me
You’re making me crazy
I never knew I was lonely
Til lately baby
You, you got something on me
You’re making me crazy
Lately
And I won’t tell you how I’m feelin
Baby I won’t tell you that
Life would be better with me
You, you got something on me
You, you got something on me
You, you got something on me
Baby, lately
You, you got something on me
You’re making me crazy
I never knew I was lonely
Til lately baby
You, you got something on me
You’re making me crazy
You’re making me crazy
Lately
You’re making me crazy
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
around my mind
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know
Well, I'm a girl of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
Cause they always start to cry
Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye
I'm a girl of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
Cause they always start to cry
Lately
I think i'm doing fine
Don't know what's going on
But i'm out of it
Maybe
Desperate long enough
To get bored of being mad
But still it's out there
Yeah still it's out there
It's almost 5: 00am
Don't wanna fall asleep
I'm finding something she was missing
It's almost 5: 00am
And i'm still going on
I'm finding something to believe in
Clearly
I'm doing something wrong
She smiles in my photographs
I'm out of it
Maybe
It means a lot to me
It tells me how to smile
And it's always out there
Yeah it's always out there
It's almost 5: 00am
Don't wanna fall asleep
I'm finding something she was missing
It's almost 5: 00am
And i'm still going on
Lately when i speak out
They laugh and take me in
They send me off to places
They have never been
They were in the same place yesterday
Talking about the people they're not
The things they want
We aren't like them
We aren't like them
Lately when i speak out
It's just to my friends
There isn't hope for us
If you we don't let others in
I was in the same place yesterday hoping for
People to be the changes they see
We aren't like them
I'm not feeling myself lately
Maybe you don't motivate me
Then again, what motivates me Lately
I'm not feeling myself lately
My dreams are far too real
It might take some time for this soul to heal
The lights went out but I can
Still see your reflection.
This confusion swallows like the evening sun
(Am I the one)
Am I the one
Where has the dream gone
Maybe time from you could cure this king
When you've got so much
But it's just not fitting
The lights went out but I can
Still see your reflection
Give me time to be the thorn
Maybe I've gone crazy
I don't know
As freedom escapes me
It follows you
And we struggle
On and on it's true
But nothing's changed
Not yet
Are you ready for blood?!
Are you ready for blood?!
Yeah!
The lights went out but I can
Still see your reflection
Maybe I've gone crazy
I don't know
As freedom escapes me
It follows you
And we struggle
On and on it's true
But nothing's changed
