I love the song “Lately” by Stevie Wonder. It was recorded for his album entitled “Hotter than July” in 1981. This song was notable covered by R&B group Jodeci and released as a promotional single for the live album Uptown MTV Unplugged in June 1993 (Wikipedia). This song tells about of the woman who betrays her husband. I hate the story (about infidelity) in the strongest possible terms but I like its melody. Wonder’s voice is very cool in this song. Here is the lyrics of the song ”Lately”.
Lately
1st verse:
Lately I have had this strangest feeling,
with no vivd reasons here to find.
Yet the thought of losing's been hanging, round my mind...
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume,
with you say, "No special place to go"
But when I ask will you be coming back soon,
you don't know, never know.
Chorus:
Well, I'm a man of many wishes,
I hope my premonition misses,
but what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide,
cause they always start to cry.
cause it's time could mean goodbye.
2nd Verse:
Lately I've been staring in the mirror,
very slowly picking me apart.
Tryin' to tell myself I have no reason, with your heart.
Just the other night while you were sleeping,
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name.
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping,
you just say, nothing's changed.
repeat Chorus twice.
