Lately

[Chorus]

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout you, baby

I can't keep my mind on other things

People say it's best to let your thoughts run free

But mine spin 'round in tight concentric rings

Those stories that your confidants have told me

They don't inspire confidence, my dear

Maybe you should go your way and I'll go mine

And wait until the coast is mostly clear

[Pre-Chorus]

But deep inside, I know I'll always love you

It's like a light that's shining from above

It's got me thinkin' I'm no good without you

Those arms of yours still fit me like a glove, so

[Chorus]

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout you, baby

My mind should really be on other things

But waiting's such a lonely way to spend your time

Just wonderin' what tomorrow's gonna bring

[Interlude]

Lately, I've been thinkin' about you

(Just about you, baby)

My mind should really be on other things

(Just about you, baby)

People say it's best to let your thoughts run free

(Just about you, baby)

But mine spin 'round in tight concentric rings

(Just about you, just about you, just about you, baby)

Those stories that your confidants have told me

(Don't tell me stories)

They don't inspire confidence, my dear

(Don't make me feel so good)

Maybe, maybe you should go your way

(Maybe you should go your way and I'll go mine)

And I'll go mine

(Maybe you should go your way and I'll go mine)

Then we'll wait

(Wait until the coast is finally clear)

Until the coast is mostly clear

(It's ever clear, it's ever, ever, ever clear)

Let's say you

[Pre-Chorus]

But deep inside, I know I'll always love you

It's like a light that's shining from above

It's got me thinkin' I'm no good without you

Those arms of yours still fit me like a glove, so

[Chorus]

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout you, baby

My mind should really be on other things

But waiting's such a lonely way to spend your time

Just wonderin' what tomorrow's gonna bring

[Outro]

Just wonderin' what tomorrow's going to bring
