O mister, let me stay a while 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 take this pain
Or maybe this has happened once to you
Yesterday I owned the world, the ocean, and the shore
My baby said 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 helped sing every song
She didn't even know I was gone
[ guitar ]
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 goodnight
Yesterday I owned the world, the ocean, and the shore
My baby said 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 helped sing every song
She didn't even know I was gone
