That Was Yesterday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooh
You said it, but didn't really mean it
One too many times
If I'd been looking
I would have seen it comin'
Could have saved myself some time
You say this time it's different
But that don't make it right
You're just giving me another reason
To look you in the eye and say
That was yesterday
Oh it took a while, but I'm finding my way
That was yesterday
Oh baby you can say you love me all you can
I'm afraid you got the wrong man
Oh you got the wrong man
You had it, and I need it
More than just your time
You played it, and I bought it
But you would've hurt in time
Slowly but surely
You drove me out of my mind
But it's my turn baby
So don't be suprised
When you hear me sayin'
That was yesterday
Oh it took a while, but I'm finding my way
That was yesterday
Oh baby you can say you love me all you can
I'm afraid you got the wrong man
Oh you got the wrong man
Oh the wrong man
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
Oh it took a while, but I'm finding my way (hear me saying)
That was yesterday
Oh baby you can say you love me all you can
I'm afraid you got the wrong man
Oh you got the wrong man
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
(That was yesterday)
Oh you got the wrong man
(That was yesterday)
You had it...and I need it, more than just your time
(That was yesterday)
That was yesterday
