[Verse 1]
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Verse 2]
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging out of me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

[Chorus]
Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

[Verse 3]
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Chorus]
Why she had to go?
I don't know, she would not say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
[Verse 4]
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
