There's no use living for today There's no use living for today Well, today was once tomorrow And today's tomorrows' yesterday There's no use living for today The girl I love is up and gone The girl I love is up and gone She left yesterday morning And by supper time I had a brand new song The girl I left is up and gone The cat is scratching at my door Got a big black cat and he's scratching at my door He runs by me kind of funny 'Cause I've never let him in before The cat is scratching at my door Everybody needs some time away (Don't you think?) Everybody needs a little bit of time away She'll only be gone for the weekend But it feels like Sunday every Everybody needs some time away She's coming in on the 1209 My baby's coming on the 1209 She will ask me about the weekend And I'll lie and tell her it was fine She'll be coming in on the 1209 There's no use living for today There's no use living for today Well, today was once tomorrow And today's tomorrows' yesterday There's no use living for today
