Lately
Tyrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you by my side
This is love babe 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 babe
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 babe
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
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 babe
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
And I'll tell you back baby
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 babe
In this song, Tyrese expresses his love for his significant other and acknowledges that sometimes he forgets to show it. He can't imagine life without them and hopes they feel the same. He admits that sometimes he forgets the small things, like how they like to be wined and dined with romantic lights, but he recognizes their importance and how they make his partner feel.
The chorus of the song, "Lately, have I told you I love you," is a clear indication of Tyrese's desire to express his love more frequently. He wants his partner to know that they still mean the world to him, even if he forgets to say it. He assures them that he will always be there for them, as their "wishing well" to grant their wishes and desires.
Overall, the song is a reminder that expressing love should never be taken for granted, as it can slip away easily if not nurtured. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and appreciating one's loved ones and making sure they know how much they are loved and needed.
