Sweet - Yesterday's Hero lyrics

We play for the fun And we run for the glory And it all seems to happen so fast You used to love me But now you ignore me And my name is a thing of the past I didn't rescue For fortune or fame I was happy to do it for love You made me a hero And I played the game Well I gave what I hade And I guess it just wasn't enough Now listen to them say 'Here he comes... Yesterday's Hero 'Here he comes... Yesterday's Hero Well you called me the best Now you call me yesterday's hero Have you seen a tiger When he is in danger How he runs from the scene of the crime But I didn't listen To my intuition It was there in the back of my mind I guess I should have seen it coming Well it's happened before And it was only a matter of time Now everybody says 'Here he comes... Yesterday's Hero 'Here he comes... Yesterday's Hero Well you called me the best Now you call me yesterday's hero (Yesterday's Hero) Yesterday's Hero (Yesterday's Hero) We play for the fun And we run for the glory And it all seems to happen so fast You used to love me But now you ignore me And my name is a thing of the past Oh Yeah Now listen to them say 'Here he comes... Yesterday's Hero 'Here he comes... Yesterday's Hero I'm still the best And I won't be Yesterday's Hero (Yesterday's Hero) Yesterday's Hero (Yesterday's Hero) You call me Yesterday's Hero (Yesterday's Hero) You call me Yesterday's Hero
