[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
