Who've You Been Loving Lately
Judy Blank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gazing out the windows with my headphones on and I'm
Humming my blues away
It don′t really matter where it all went wrong
I could write a letter but there's nothing left to say
Everybody knows that you moved the light
I took a flight, you made me take a fall
And then it came to mind you were nothing like me at all
Yet I′m dying to know
Who′ve you been loving lately?
Who've you been holding at night?
Who′ve you been loving lately?
Who've you been hoping to find?
Fifteen minutes in a parking lot
It′s about time that we all moved on, but here you are
And I can't move a thing
You can send me flowers, you can make a call
But it′s bittersweet 'cause you never cared at all
Yet I'm dying to know
Who′ve you been loving lately?
Who′ve you been holding at night?
Who've you been loving lately?
Who′ve you been hoping to find?
Who've you been loving lately?
Who′ve you been holding at night?
Who've you been loving lately?
Who′ve you been hoping to find?
Who've you been loving lately?
Who've you been holding at night?
Who′ve you been loving lately?
Who′ve you been hoping to find?
