Lately Lyrics by Macy Gray

The Sellout

2010

Like they would've 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 a worked out plan
But you had enough

Yeah, shake me love
You wake me love
I'm dreaming of you

We're broken up
But I'm sure it was
You're my love

Lately I've been coming 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 crowd
Didn't realize what I had
To the girl that made it bad
And I'm sorry love

But I landed on my feet, now
Look-a-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 dreaming of you

We're broken up
But I'm sure it was
Love, my love

Lately I've been coming 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'll be running back
Back on my street

Lately I've been coming up
Just like a palm tree
People surrounding me

Yeah, I am popular
They say I am pretty
You should come back to me
Lately, lately

Lately I've been coming 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 coming 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
