Oh Mister, let me stay awhile and talk with you
I know it's time to lock the door, the dance is through
But maybe you can tell me how to fake this pain
For maybe this has happened once to you

Yesterday, I owned the world, the ocean, and the shore
My baby said that she'd never make me hurt anymore
Tonight we planned to mention our engagement at the dance
I wish we'd never come through that door

The music started playing and she walked away
My heart was crying loud, but not a word could I say
She danced with him all night and they would sing every song
She didn't even know I was gone

I waited at the door until the dance was through
I had to know for sure that what I'd seen was true
She cuddled in his arms and then they walked out of sight
She didn't even tell me good night

Yesterday, I owned the world, the ocean, and the shore
My baby said that she'd never make me hurt anymore
Tonight we planned to mention our engagement at the dance
I wish we'd never come through that door

The music started playing and she walked away
My heart was crying loud, but not a word could I say
She danced with him all night and they would sing every song
She didn't even know I was gone
