[Verse 1]

Yesterday, all my troubles

Seemed so far away, yeah

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not a half the man

I used to be, no, no, no

There's a shadow hanging over me

For yesterday came suddenly

[Chorus]

Why did she have to go?

I don't know, she wouldn't say

Wait a minute, I, I said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

[Verse 2]

Oh, yesterday, love was such an

Easy game to play, yes, it was

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Chorus]

Why did she have to go?

I don't know, she wouldn't say

But listen, I, I must've said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

[Verse 3]

Yesterday, love was such an

Easy game to play, yeah

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mm mm mm mm mmm
