Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay, oh I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, there's a shadow hanging over me, oh yesterday came suddenly. Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong now I'm long for yesterday. Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play. Now I need a place to hide away, oh I believe in yesterday. Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong now I'm long for yesterday.
