Lately Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Oh oh yeah oh yeah oh
Lately
Been thinking bout you baby
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Lately
Been thinking bout you baby
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Have you ever felt a breeze hit your heart
Like the wind was blowing it apart
Has you spiining like a merry go round
Indications of a storm touching ground
I wish that I could weather down any storm
But I guess it was a heartbreak from the norm
It was a day I will always remember
The saddest day in sweet november
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Im on my knees praying god help me please
Bring my baby back bring him right back to me
If loving you is right
I dont ever want to be wrong
Instead I drown myself with tears
Sittin here singing another love song
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Lately Ive been torn apart
I wish you hant broke my heart
Ive been missing you babe missing you everyday
Lately Ive been torn apart
I wish you hant broke my heart
Ive been missing you babe missing you everyday
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby I realised I love you
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away sitting away
Watching the days go by watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
Lately Ive been watching you
Been thinking bout you baby and everything you do
Just sitting away
Watching the days go by
