[Verse 1]
In her house she shows me a picture of her favorite painting
I learned about it in my history class last year
She doesn't like the way Impressionism makes her dizzy
Dipping the brush in one too many shades of blue

[Chorus]
Now I just want my lovely girl
To be back here with me
And she just wants her lovely boy
To ask her how she's doing lately
And what you doing lately?
Baby just take me

[Verse 2]
She got a brand new painting up in her room
And we watch the colors move
So I go out just to find her just what she deserves

[Bridge]
Oh, why do you like the things that you like?
And why do you smile and the things that make you smile?
Just like your voice, and just like your art
I finally see what sets you apart

[Chorus]
Like my lovely girl
To be back here with me
And she just wants her lovely boy
To ask her how she's doing lately
[Outro]
And how you doing lately?
Baby just take me
Yeah, how you doing lately?
Baby just take me
