Yesterday all my trouble seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh yesterday game suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know

She wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh I believe in yesterday
