Lately Lyrics

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
my girl

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've always wanted to hear this song but can't find it anywhere (i even made my own melody for it, cause i'm a geek). it's incredibly elementary, but it still really conveys a whole lot of wanting.
