Girl Lately Things Have Been Changing
The Beautiful Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, lately so many things, they've been changing.
And I promise you from now on,
I'm a try and be a good, good man.
I never used to know what I wanted.
Until I got it.
Then I didn't want it no more.
But it's been too long now,
With my heart breaking on this floor,
And it's killing me.
Dead.

Girl, lately so many things, they've been changing.

And it's you and me from now on.
Gonna save each other maybe.
I'll tell you the truth if you want it.
That's if I got it.
You see, I'm really not sure.
Guess it's been too long now,
To know the difference anymore,




And it's killing me.
Dead.
